About this fabric

This pale colourway reads as a gentle natural cream, with muted golden threads adding warmth without becoming bright or strongly yellow. Small vertical slubs and uneven woven marks create quiet depth across the surface, while the light catches the raised fibres in delicate variations of tone. Its mid-weight-looking woven character makes it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair Forsythia - Gres with chalky whites, pale oak and warm stone for a light, natural scheme, or use it to soften deeper caramel and ochre accents. Its restrained gold fleck works especially well where a plain ivory would feel too flat.

Use this softly flecked ivory-and-gold weave to bring gentle warmth and tactile interest to seating, curtains or cushions.

Forsythia - Gres 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.
