About this fabric

The design alternates slim cream and taupe bands, creating a small-scale vertical rhythm with a 3.5cm horizontal repeat and no vertical repeat. Its warm, lightly muted colouring reads softer than a high-contrast stripe, with the woven surface adding quiet texture rather than shine. At 321 gsm and 137 cm usable width, this is a substantial, versatile fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. The 50 threads-per-centimetre construction gives the face a closely textured appearance, while the 35 m standard length supports larger projects.

How to use it

Use the warm cream-taupe stripe on an occasional chair, headboard or tailored blind where its vertical direction adds gentle definition. Pair it with natural wood, chalky neutrals and softly aged metallics to preserve the colourway’s calm, collected character.

The fine vertical stripe brings quiet structure to upholstery, cushions, blinds and curtains while the warm cream-taupe palette remains easy to layer.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Carnival Stripe Calico without fighting it. 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.
