Liliana Sheers FabricF3532-01
Cecile Ivory is a whisper-light sheer with a soft ivory ground and a delicate embroidered stripe that reads airy rather than stark. The pattern sits gently on the cloth, giving the fabric a calm, refined presence.

About this fabric
Woven in 85% linen and 15% polyester, this sheer has the natural slub and relaxed handle you would expect from a linen-rich drapery cloth, with a little added stability from the polyester content. The 126cm approx width makes it suitable for elegant curtain drops, and the vertical repeat of 16cm with a horizontal repeat of 31cm approx gives the stripe a measured, graceful rhythm. In this Ivory colourway, the ground is warm-white rather than bright white, while the embroidered motif is barely-there beige, so the overall effect is soft, tonal and quietly decorative. The light passes through the fabric beautifully, allowing the pattern to remain visible without ever feeling heavy.
How to use it
Use Cecile Ivory where you want daylight to be softened but not shut out, especially in rooms with limewashed walls, pale timber and upholstered pieces in stone or putty. It works well for curtains, café panels or relaxed full-length drapes where the subtle ivory-on-ivory palette can keep the room feeling calm and lifted.
Pair with pale woods and linen upholstery for a light, refined scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cecile Ivory 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.
