Arenite Chalk

Name: Arenite Chalk
Brand: Kirkby Design

Arenite Chalk is a pale chalk-cream textile with a softly natural, closely woven appearance. Its light colour is gently lifted by tiny beige flecks across the surface, giving the swatch more depth than a flat plain.

About this fabric

The fine weave is visibly made up of small horizontal yarns and delicate tonal variation, creating a subtle, tactile surface rather than a pronounced motif. Its chalk base reads warm and softly muted, with the flecks adding a light sandy cast in close view. The supplied catalogue identifies this product as Fabric, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use Arenite Chalk to upholster seating where a quiet cream tone and softly textured finish can lighten the room without looking stark. It pairs naturally with pale timber, warm whites and other restrained neutral upholstery.

A pale chalk neutral with a fine woven texture that brings quiet depth to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Arenite Chalk 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.
