Sylph Cream

Name: Sylph Cream
Brand: Emma Shipley
SKU: CCF0536-05

Sylph Cream presents a pale ivory-cream ground with a quiet, almost washed appearance. Fine horizontal striations and tiny tonal irregularities give the otherwise plain surface a gently tactile finish.

About this fabric

This light fabric weighs 93gsm and has a 137cm usable width, making it particularly well suited to drapery. The image shows no defined motif or contrasting pattern; instead, faint linear marks move softly across the cream ground. Its 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats reflect this non-directional, plain-looking surface. The cool, softened ivory tone keeps the colour airy rather than stark white, while the subtle weave prevents it from appearing completely flat.

How to use it

Use Sylph Cream for full-length curtains, sheers or relaxed Roman blinds where its pale ivory tone can filter light without introducing a strong colour statement. Pair it with warm timber, chalky paint and natural textures to draw out the cloth’s quiet horizontal texture.

A delicate ivory-cream cloth with barely visible horizontal striations, ideal for understated curtains and relaxed window treatments.

Sylph 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.
