La Parisienne Noir et Blanc

Sacha Fabric04911-01

La Parisienne Noir et Blanc shows a crisp cream ground lifted by loose black sketching and flashes of bright colour in the figures. The design reads as a playful Paris scene, with the wide spacing and drawn lines giving it an airy, graphic feel.

About this fabric

Woven in 55% linen and 45% cotton, this fabric has the natural look and slightly relaxed handle that suit decorative curtains and lighter domestic upholstery. The repeat is approximately V 98cm and H 138cm, and the large-scale composition lets the Parisian linework and illustrated landmarks breathe across the cloth. On this colourway, the cream base feels soft rather than stark, while the black drawing adds definition without making the surface look heavy. Small accents of pink, red, teal and yellow bring the scene to life and keep the overall effect lively against the neutral ground. Care code C 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for specification purposes.

How to use it

This colourway works well in rooms that need a smart but easygoing focal point, especially where the cream ground can lighten a scheme. Pair it with black accents, pale wood and tailored plain linens to echo the sketch-like contrast.

Use it for statement curtains or light upholstery where the illustrated detail can be shown off.

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.
