About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm, creamy ivory rather than a stark white, giving the swatch a softened and welcoming feel. The surface is visually quiet, with a fine, barely perceptible grain that prevents it from looking completely flat. Its low-contrast appearance makes the shade especially easy to place alongside natural timber, warm whites and muted neutrals. No composition, width or performance specification was supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Chelsea Calico to keep a room light and calm on relaxed upholstery or full-length curtains. Its warm ivory tone works particularly well with pale oak, oatmeal textiles and softly aged finishes.

A softly textured ivory neutral for light upholstery, curtains and relaxed interiors.

Chelsea Calico 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.
