Geneva Cream shows a soft ivory tone with a gently textured, clouded surface that keeps the plain design from reading flat. The colour feels warm and understated, with a light-catching finish that lifts rather than dominates a room.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Geneva collection has an airy cream base with a subtle mottled texture visible across the surface, giving it a calm, softly worn character. Woven in 100% polyester and specified for Heavy Domestic use, it is designed to cope with everyday seating while still looking refined. The 45,000 Martindale result underlines its practical strength, and the supplied back-coated finish is certified to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. After care is professional dry clean in situ by a specialist cleaner used to handling this type of material. Its pale, slightly warm ivory shade makes the texture appear gentle rather than stark, which suits both contemporary and classic upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Use Geneva Cream on sofas, armchairs or banquettes where you want a bright but softened neutral. It pairs especially well with oak, limestone and muted taupe fabrics, letting the room feel open and quietly tailored.

A quietly luminous cream that works well on tailored upholstery and soft, layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Geneva Cream 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.
