About this fabric

The subtly textured surface gives this colourway more depth than a flat white, while retaining its clean chalk character. At 198 gsm, it is a versatile mid-weight suited to both upholstery and drapery. The 153 cm usable width offers practical coverage, and the supplied 0 cm vertical and horizontal repeats confirm a plain, non-directional design. A thread density of 48.5 threads per cm contributes to the fabric’s fine, even visual texture.

How to use it

Use Ario Chalk to soften an otherwise crisp scheme on curtains, relaxed blinds or lightly tailored seating. Its warm cream cast pairs naturally with pale timber, limestone, oatmeal and muted grey, avoiding the starkness of a brilliant white.

A warm chalk cream with a quiet woven surface for light, understated upholstery and drapery.

Pairs well with

Ario Chalk 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.
