About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm slaked lime cream, with an understated ivory tone and a cushioned, tactile surface. The plain design keeps the focus on the texture, while the close pile gives it a soft, almost brushed look in the folds. Woven in 100% polyester, it is specified for heavy domestic use and has a Martindale rating of 40,000, making it well suited to everyday seating. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care is professional dry clean in situ.

How to use it

Use this pale neutral to soften angular upholstery, especially in rooms that need a calm, low-contrast base. It pairs easily with timber, stone and layered naturals, while the slightly creamy undertone keeps it warmer than a stark white.

A softly textured neutral that works beautifully on relaxed seating and cushions.

Pairs well with

Osaka Slaked Lime 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.
