About this fabric

This colourway reads as a pale ballerina cream, with a delicate warm cast rather than a stark white edge. The weave shows a fine, textile grain that softens the surface and adds quiet depth across the plain pattern. It is composed of 30% cotton, 25% viscose, 15% linen and 30% wool, and the fabric is 137cm wide. With a Martindale rub test of 40,000 and upholstery grade suitable for Contract and General Domestic use, it is practical enough for loose covers and fixed upholstery as well as curtains. It is also dry clean and stain resistant, with FR compliance to BS5852 Part 1 Source 0 and 1.

How to use it

Use Ballerina as a lightening neutral on sofas, tailored curtains or bench seating where you want a soft, refined backdrop. It pairs especially well with warm woods, pale oak and muted blush or stone accents.

A quietly elegant neutral that lifts a room without feeling stark.

Pairs well with

Pluto Ballerina 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.
