About this fabric

The fabric has a compact woven construction, with small horizontal and vertical threads creating a subtle checked texture rather than a printed motif. Calcare reads as a quiet off-white rather than a stark white, with gentle oatmeal shading between the threads adding depth. The supplied listing records no performance features, so this colourway is best considered for upholstery applications where its woven texture can remain visible.

How to use it

Use this chalky ivory on a tailored armchair, ottoman or headboard to soften darker timber and stone. Pair it with warm whites, pale oak and muted taupe so the fine woven flecks add interest without introducing a strong pattern.

A pale, tactile neutral that brings quiet texture to upholstered seating and headboards.

Thelonious Calcare 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.
