About this fabric

This colourway shows a warm ivory base with a gentle linen-cream cast, lifted by the faint shimmer of viscose in the weave. The herringbone-style chevron is small and tightly worked, so the pattern feels refined rather than busy, and the surface has a dry, slightly slubby character that suits the linen-rich composition. At approximately 147cm wide and made from 51% Linen, 32% Viscose, 9% Cotton and 8% Polyester, it offers a practical mid-weight cloth for upholstery or drapery. The repeat is V 0cm / H 3cm approx, which keeps the zigzag rhythm neat and regular across larger pieces. The overall effect is understated, bright and versatile, with just enough texture to soften crisp contemporary or classic schemes.

How to use it

Use this ivory chevron on a sofa, bench or upholstered headboard where its pale warmth can brighten the room without feeling stark. It also works well for curtains in a layered scheme, especially beside oak, chalky paintwork or muted taupe accents.

A quietly elegant ivory chevron that feels tailored and easy to place in calm, layered interiors.

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.
