About this fabric

This colourway shows a strong buttercup yellow with a slightly golden undertone, reading warm and saturated rather than pale or lemony. The plain weave has a smooth, even appearance with a subtle nap that softens the light across the surface. Made from 100% polyester, this contract fabric is specified to 50,000 Martindale, making it a durable choice for demanding interiors. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available upon request, and should be professionally dry cleaned in situ. The overall effect is clean and energetic, but still polished enough for commercial seating and statement upholstery.

How to use it

Use this buttercup tone to brighten banquettes, feature chairs, or padded wall panels where you want a cheerful focal colour. It pairs well with oak, charcoal, and deep green accents for a smart, contemporary scheme.

A warm buttercup shade that brings an uplifting, contract-ready finish to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Odyssey Buttercup 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.
