CALI Mustard 2

Name: CALI Mustard 2
Brand: iliv

CALI Mustard 2 brings a compact geometric pattern to life in a warm mustard-gold shade. The small square motif reads clearly against the lighter ground, giving the swatch a lively but controlled rhythm.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a 67% polyester and 33% polypropylene blend, with a usable width of 142cm and a 2cm horizontal and vertical repeat. Its 20,000 Martindale rating and General Domestic upholstery grade make it suitable for everyday interiors, while the Treatable for FR Drapery and Upholstery specification broadens its use. Visually, the mustard colour sits in a golden, slightly muted register rather than a bright yellow, so the tiny geometric pattern feels crisp and tailored. The surface has a clean woven character that keeps the design looking neat and evenly structured across folds and cushions.

How to use it

Use it on an accent chair, bench seat or Roman blind where the mustard tone can warm timber, cane or painted neutrals. It pairs especially well with soft cream, olive or muted blue for a balanced, contemporary palette.

The warm mustard tone gives the tiny grid a crisp, tailored look for schemes that need colour without heaviness.

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