Boucle Ecru

Boucle Ecru has a warm, softly mottled cream tone, shown here in a visibly looped and dimensional weave. Its raised surface creates gentle shadowing across the pale neutral ground.

About this fabric

The fabric is built around irregular boucle loops and a softly fringed-looking edge, giving the surface a tactile, lightly rustic character rather than a flat finish. Its ecru colouring sits between cream and pale beige, with warm flecks that prevent the shade from reading stark white. The substantial-looking woven texture makes it most naturally suited to upholstery applications. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this fabric, so these specifications should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this warm ecru on a relaxed occasional chair, headboard or compact sofa where its looped relief can be seen and touched. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and soft taupes to keep the scheme tonal without making the room feel cold.

A warm, tactile neutral with a pronounced looped surface for relaxed upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Boucle 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.
