Loxley Buttermilk

Name: Loxley Buttermilk
Brand: Linwood

Loxley Buttermilk is a softly textured neutral with a warm, honeyed cream cast and a gentle woven slub visible across the surface. Its close-up weave gives the colour a tactile, light-catching finish rather than a flat plain look.

About this fabric

Woven in a semi-plain structure, Loxley Buttermilk reads as a mellow buttermilk cream with subtle beige and oatmeal undertones, lifted by tiny flecks in the weave. The cloth is composed of 38% viscose, 38% cotton, 18% linen and 6% polyester, and it is specified for fixed upholstery with a Martindale rub test of 30,000, making it suitable for contract and general domestic use. At 137cm wide and sold by the metre, it is a practical upholstery fabric with enough body to hold its texture on seating. The overall effect is warm and inviting, with a softly broken surface that keeps the neutral tone from feeling stark.

How to use it

Use Buttermilk to brighten an upholstered sofa, bench or headboard while keeping the scheme warm rather than clinical. It pairs especially well with oak, rattan, chalky paint colours and deeper accent cushions in olive, terracotta or ink.

A warm neutral that softens with natural timber and layered linens.

Pairs well with

Loxley Buttermilk 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.
