About this fabric

The close-up shows a warm, pale cream background crossed by slender vertical stripes, with ochre and charcoal lines alternating in a precise rhythm. Its subtly woven surface gives the stripes a gentle tactile softness rather than a flat printed appearance. The narrow scale creates a neat, elongated effect that reads as composed and quietly graphic. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Houlgate - Paille for full-length curtains where its cream base can brighten the room while the ochre and charcoal lines add measured structure. Pair it with warm timber, ivory upholstery and restrained dark accents to echo the stripe without competing with it.

A warm cream ground and fine vertical striping bring tailored definition to curtains and blinds.

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.
