About this fabric

This fabric is woven in 70% linen and 30% cotton, giving the surface a natural, lightly textured look that suits the gentle irregularity visible in the swatch. The repeat measures approximately 11cm vertically by 9cm horizontally, which reads as a delicate, evenly spaced motif across the ivory base. Ellen Ivory has a restrained, warm-white tone with just enough tonal contrast to keep the pattern visible without disturbing the calm overall finish. At 135cm wide, it is a practical furnishing cloth for tailored interior schemes, and the listed Q 8 + T 3 care code and Z fire code should be checked against the intended application.

How to use it

Use this soft ivory colourway to brighten a bedroom, sitting room, or dining chair upholstery without introducing a stark white note. It works especially well with pale timber, chalky painted finishes, and layered neutrals where the subtle motif can be appreciated up close.

A fresh ivory ground with a quietly decorative repeat that feels refined without looking severe.

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.
