About this fabric

This Lelievre fabric reads as a cool pearl ivory, sitting closer to a softened white than a warm cream. The surface appears plain and finely textured, with gentle tonal shading that prevents the pale colour from looking completely flat. Slight grey-beige depth is visible across the swatch, giving it a composed, airy finish rather than a bright or stark one. No performance features are noted in the supplied record, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Use Perle for light drapery where its cool ivory tone can soften windows and complement pale stone, grey or natural timber finishes. It also works well as a quiet backdrop for rooms built around tonal neutrals.

Use its cool pearl tone to brighten calm, understated rooms without introducing a strong colour contrast.

Absolu - Perle 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.
