About this fabric

Bute Ivory from the Liliana Sheers collection is composed of 63% linen and 37% polyester, with a generous width of approximately 288cm, making it well suited to wide drapery drops. The cloth reads as a warm ivory cream rather than a sharp white, with a subtle natural texture visible through the vertical folds. Its sheer construction gives it a light, airy hand and a softened surface that catches daylight gently. With no repeat and no performance features noted, this colourway is all about an uncomplicated, refined window finish.

How to use it

Use Bute Ivory where you want to soften strong daylight and keep the room feeling open and serene. Its warm ivory cast works especially well against pale woods, chalky paint colours, and layered neutrals.

A gentle sheer ivory that keeps a room bright and airy without feeling stark.

Pairs well with

Bute Ivory is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
