Tarn Ivory is a quietly textured ivory cloth with a soft, natural-looking surface and a warm, chalky lightness. In this colourway, the weave reads gentle and understated rather than stark.

About this fabric

Woven in a 145cm approx width and offered with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm approx, Tarn Ivory has the look of a calm plain with subtle fibre movement rather than a printed pattern. Its composition of 35% Linen, 27% Jute, 19% Acrylic, 14% Cotton, 4% Polyester and 1% Polyamide gives the cloth a slightly dry, tactile character that suits its natural ivory tone. The colour sits between cream and shell, with a soft warmth that keeps it from reading cold white. With no performance features noted and a care code of Q 8 + T 3, it presents as a refined decorative fabric with a practical woven handle.

How to use it

Use Tarn Ivory to soften darker woods, pale plaster walls or woven blinds, where its warm ivory tone will add quiet depth without demanding attention. It is especially effective in calm schemes that need a textural neutral rather than a flat white.

A warm ivory neutral that layers easily with timber, stone and soft metallics.

Pairs well with

Tarn Ivory 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.
