Kelsea Cream

Kelsea FabricF4673-12

Kelsea Cream shows a finely worked herringbone with a quiet, tonal finish that reads soft and tailored in the image. The cream ground sits warm rather than stark, giving the pattern a gentle, pared-back presence.

About this fabric

Woven in a 51% Linen, 32% Viscose, 9% Cotton, 8% Polyester blend, this fabric has a crisp yet softened handle that suits both upholstery and drapery. The repeat is vertical 0cm / horizontal 3cm approx, creating a slim herringbone effect that stays subtle at close range and almost textural from a distance. In this colourway the cream tone is muted and warm, with just enough variation in the weave to stop it feeling flat. The 147cm approx width makes it practical for larger furnishings, and the √CH fire code is listed for this exact cloth.

How to use it

Use Kelsea Cream on a neat armchair, bench or tailored curtains where you want texture without contrast. It pairs especially well with pale timber, plastery whites and deeper bronze or taupe accents.

A refined neutral that layers easily with oak, stone and deeper accent colours.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kelsea Cream without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
