About this fabric

The swatch is predominantly warm ivory, with a narrow taupe vertical panel at the right and a broader horizontal taupe section interrupting it. Subtle rectangular marks and fine, script-like woven details appear across the pale ground, giving the jacquard a measured graphic character rather than a bold motif. The close, even weave catches the light gently, keeping the colourway delicate and understated. This fine-looking textile is particularly well suited to light drapery, where its bands and tonal changes can remain visible without overwhelming a room.

How to use it

Pair the warm ivory ground with pale oak, chalk-painted walls and natural linen for a calm scheme, or use the taupe bands to connect with mushroom, putty and soft brown upholstery.

Use this softly contrasting ivory and taupe colourway for calm, tailored window treatments.

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.
