Smooth Corn

Name: Smooth Corn
Brand: Kirkby Design

Smooth Corn presents a rich corn-ochre colour across a quiet, uninterrupted surface. Its warm yellow tone is softened and earthy rather than bright, giving the swatch a gently grounded appearance.

About this fabric

This plain fabric has a subtly even texture with no visible motif, allowing the warm ochre-yellow colour to remain the focus. The shade shifts gently across the swatch, appearing deeper in some areas and softly illuminated in others. The SKU is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features, composition, width or rub-test specification supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Smooth Corn to bring a measured note of warm yellow to an otherwise neutral room, particularly alongside cream, taupe or natural timber. Its plain surface also suits tonal schemes where colour depth matters more than pattern.

Pair this warm corn-ochre shade with natural neutrals, deep wood tones or muted greens.

Pairs well with

Smooth Corn 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.
