About this fabric

Athena in Ecru appears as a near-white ecru with a faint grey cast, its surface marked by extremely fine vertical striations rather than a printed motif. The close, even texture gives the cloth a quiet, softly reflective finish as the pale shade shifts subtly across the swatch. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability should be assessed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use this pale, greyed ecru for full-length curtains where its fine vertical texture can add quiet depth without introducing a strong pattern. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, pale timber and cool stone tones.

Its softly greyed ecru tone will bring a light, quiet finish to curtains and other airy window treatments.

Pairs well with

Athena - 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.
