About this fabric

The eggshell colour sits between warm ivory and soft stone, reading light and understated rather than bright white. Close up, the surface shows delicate vertical slubs and a fine woven grain, while the matte finish keeps the shade calm under changing light. As a catalogued fabric from Kirkby Design’s Chelsea II collection, it has no performance features noted in the supplied data. Its balanced, mid-weight-looking weave makes it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery, subject to the intended application and project requirements.

How to use it

Use Chelsea Eggshell to soften a room with pale oak, chalky plaster tones and warm greys, or pair it with darker timber where its quiet cream surface can provide gentle contrast.

Its quiet eggshell tone and barely textured weave suit calm upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Chelsea Eggshell 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.
