Soulful Cotton reads as a quiet ivory cream with a gently mottled, linen-like surface. Its pale tone feels warm rather than stark, with subtle horizontal striations that add softness.

About this fabric

This plain from the Soulful collection is woven in 100% recycled polyester and is specified for Heavy Domestic use, with a 40,000 Martindale rating. The swatch shows a soft ivory-cream ground with fine, chalky texture and delicate horizontal ribbing that gives the cloth a relaxed, natural look. It has a light, dry hand visually rather than a glossy finish, so the colour feels calm and softly diffused across the surface. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it is also practical for upholstered pieces that need a neat, understated finish.

How to use it

Use this pale cream on clean-lined sofas, dining chairs or a tailored headboard where the subtle texture can lift a neutral scheme. It pairs especially well with pale oak, warm whites and muted stone tones for an easy, relaxed room.

A calm neutral that softens upholstery with an airy, linen-like feel.

Pairs well with

Soulful Cotton 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.
