Pelham Gold

Pelham FabricF4857-05

Pelham Gold shows a small, repeating gold pattern scattered over a pale ground, giving the swatch a neat, lightly ornamental look. The tone is warm and mellow rather than bright, so the design reads as refined and easy to live with.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in a 68% cotton and 32% linen blend, with an approximate width of 140cm and a repeat of V 12cm / H 17cm. The cloth has a crisp, visible texture that suits the fine, regular motif, while the small-scale pattern keeps the surface feeling ordered from a short distance. In this colourway, the gold sits as a soft mustard tone against the light ground, so the overall effect is warmer and more muted than a polished yellow. It is a versatile textile for upholstery or drapery where you want a decorative touch without a heavy visual weight.

How to use it

Use Pelham Gold on an occasional chair, blind or cushion where its warm mustard note can lift oak, walnut or painted timber. It works especially well with cream upholstery, brown woods and relaxed layered neutrals.

Pair with warm woods and tailored lines to let the small-scale golden pattern read as quietly decorative.

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