Tone Fabric

Tone Vanilla is a pale, warm vanilla-cream fabric with an exceptionally quiet surface. Its close, subtle texture gives the light colour a gently tactile finish without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric, Tone Vanilla appears as an almost even field of soft vanilla cream. The surface is plain and finely textured, with delicate tonal variation that prevents the shade from looking completely flat. Its warm, pale tone reads lighter at the centre of the swatch and settles into a calm ivory-beige at the edges. The visible, versatile-looking cloth is well suited to both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Pair Tone Vanilla with natural timber, chalky whites and warm stone for a softly illuminated scheme. Its gentle cream tone also works as a quiet foundation for textured cushions or darker wood furniture.

Use this softly lit vanilla tone to brighten upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Tone Vanilla 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.
