About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric in Kirkby Design’s 4d Drapery collection, Spring Shell has a fine, lightly textured weave rather than a pronounced motif. The tone sits between clean white and pale shell, with a warm softness that avoids looking stark. Delicate vertical movement in the weave adds quiet detail while allowing the colour to remain the focus. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use Spring Shell for full-length curtains or relaxed blinds where its warm shell-white tone can brighten a room without the harder contrast of pure white. Pair it with pale timber, chalky neutrals and softly coloured upholstery for a calm, airy scheme.

A quiet shell-white cloth with a fine, barely textured weave for light, understated window treatments.

Spring Shell 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.
