Absolu - Ecru is a pale, warm ivory textile with an almost even face and only the faintest surface texture visible across the swatch. Its low-contrast appearance gives the colourway a calm, gently softened presence.

About this fabric

The Ecru colourway sits between ivory and a light natural beige, with a warm cast rather than a cool white finish. The close-up shows a plain surface with a very fine, subtly irregular texture that keeps the cloth from appearing completely flat. Its light visual weight and restrained surface make it especially suited to drapery, where the quiet tone can sit unobtrusively within a room. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm ivory-ecru colourway for understated curtains or relaxed window treatments, especially alongside natural timber, chalky neutrals and soft beige upholstery. Its nearly plain surface works well where the room needs warmth without a strong motif.

A softly textured warm-ecru cloth for understated curtains and other light, quiet applications.

Pairs well with

Absolu - Ecru 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.
