Geneva White is a softly mottled plain in an airy chalk-white tone, with a very subtle flecked texture visible across the surface. It reads bright and clean rather than stark, giving the cloth a calm, light-diffusing finish.

About this fabric

This colourway from the Geneva collection is a 100% polyester plain designed for heavy domestic use, with a 45,000 Martindale rub count for everyday durability. The surface shows a delicate, clouded texture rather than a flat solid, which gives the white a gentle depth and helps it avoid looking clinical. Its back-coated construction is supplied to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and other treatments are available on request. Professional dry clean in situ by a specialist cleaner used to handling this type of material will help preserve the finish.

How to use it

Use Geneva White to lift darker upholstery shapes, or pair it with pale timber and soft greys for a fresh, quietly tailored room. The cool-leaning white and faint speckle make it especially effective where you want brightness without glare.

A quietly textured white that keeps a room feeling light, clean and understated.

Pairs well with

Geneva White 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.
