Motion Fabric
Motion Shell is shown here in a softly ivory, almost-white colourway. Its plain surface has only the faintest textile texture, giving the swatch a clean and airy appearance.

About this fabric
The Shell colourway sits just away from stark white, with a gentle warm ivory tone visible across the swatch. A very subtle fine texture breaks up the otherwise plain surface without introducing a noticeable motif or contrast. Its light, delicate appearance makes it best suited to drapery rather than visually weighty upholstery. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.
How to use it
Use Shell for curtains or relaxed voile-style panels where its warm near-white tone can soften a room without adding a strong colour statement. It would sit naturally alongside pale timber, chalky walls and other quiet neutrals.
A quiet ivory textile for light, understated curtains and soft window treatments.

Pairs well with
Motion 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.
