About this fabric

The shade sits between creamy yellow and light golden ivory, reading warm without becoming saturated or bright. A close, regular weave gives the surface a delicate grain, with slight tonal variation as the light moves across it. The restrained plain design keeps the focus on the soft butter tone rather than a visible motif. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Aloe Butter to bring a quiet wash of warmth to light upholstery, relaxed curtains or layered neutral interiors. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, pale timber, oat tones and muted sage accents.

A softly luminous butter-yellow ground with a quiet woven texture for calm, tonal schemes.

Pairs well with

Aloe Butter 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.
