About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm, muted ivory rather than a bright white, so the small repeating square motif feels gentle and understated. The fabric is made from 67% polyester and 33% polypropylene, with a usable width of 142cm and a 2cm horizontal and vertical repeat. With a Martindale rating of 20,000 and a General Domestic upholstery grade, it sits comfortably in everyday use while still feeling refined. It is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, making it a versatile choice for both soft furnishings and seated pieces. The lightly textured surface and low-contrast pattern give it a quiet depth that avoids looking flat.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored armchair, headboard or full-length curtains where the ivory tone can keep the room feeling light. It pairs especially well with pale oak, stone, and warmer neutral paints.

A softly textured ivory that lifts a room without feeling stark.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside CALI Ivory 2 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.
