About this fabric

The colour reads as soft buttermilk rather than stark white, with a gentle yellow warmth across the even woven surface. Fine horizontal and vertical threads create a restrained texture without a visible motif or repeat. At 198 gsm, this 153 cm usable-width fabric has the feel of a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0 cm, confirming the plain, non-directional appearance seen in the swatch.

How to use it

Use Ario Buttermilk to brighten seating, cushions or full-length curtains while keeping the room warm rather than cool. Its pale cream-yellow tone pairs naturally with natural timber, warm whites and softly coloured neutrals.

A warm, pale cream-yellow plain weave that brings gentle brightness to upholstery, curtains and relaxed interiors.

Pairs well with

Ario Buttermilk 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.
