Marius Cream is a softly glowing damask with a large, scrolling pattern that sits just above the ground colour rather than shouting from it. The overall effect is pale ivory with a gentle warmth and a lightly lustrous finish.

About this fabric

Woven in a blend of 40% Linen, 36% Viscose and 24% Silk, Marius Cream has a refined handle and a subtle sheen that helps the damask pattern catch the light. The design repeats at approximately V 71cm / H 71cm, giving the scrolling motif a generous, balanced rhythm across the cloth. At approximately 142cm wide, it is a versatile decorative fabric with enough width for considered drapery or elegant upholstery applications. The cream ground is softened by barely-there tonal patterning, so the surface reads calm and bright rather than stark.

How to use it

Use Marius Cream to bring a formal, tailored softness to window dressings, particularly in rooms with warm wood or painted ivory joinery. It also works well on occasional upholstery pieces where its pale tone and low-contrast damask can lift the scheme without overwhelming it.

A warm neutral damask that gives a room quiet richness without feeling heavy.

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