About this fabric

Carnforth Cream from the Tarn collection by Colefax and Fowler is a fabric with no visible pattern repeat, making the emphasis fall on its subtle woven texture. The cloth is composed of 41% viscose, 40% linen, 11% cotton, 5% acrylic and 3% polyester, and it is approximately 139cm wide. In this colourway, the cream tone feels warm rather than stark, with the linen content giving a natural, lightly slubby depth beneath the smoother viscose finish. The overall effect is quiet and versatile, with enough texture to add softness without drawing attention away from the rest of the room. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Carnforth Cream where you want a restrained backdrop that still has visible texture, such as loose upholstery, cushions or relaxed curtains. Its soft warm cream pairs especially well with pale oak, stone and other muted neutrals.

A quiet cream with a linen-rich, softly textured finish that works neatly across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Carnforth Cream 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.
