About this fabric

The cool white ground is lightly touched with blue-grey, giving this sheer a fresh, almost luminous appearance rather than a warm ivory tone. Broad, irregular vertical bands create an organic, water-like motif that becomes especially subtle where the fabric gathers. At 167gsm and 49 threads per cm, the cloth has a fine, even construction that supports its airy drapery character. The 305cm usable width is suited to generous curtain drops, while the design repeats at 47cm vertically and 34.5cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Chalk/First Light at full height in a light-filled room, where its cool white tone can soften a view without blocking it. Pair it with pale timber, chalk-painted surfaces and blue-grey accents to echo the shade visible in the motif.

Use this cool, translucent colourway for full-height curtains where its pale pattern can catch daylight without overwhelming the room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Equus Sheer Chalk/First Light 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.
