Corde Plaster

Corde Plaster is a pale, chalky greige textile with a finely textured ground and a distinctive raised braided band. Its softly mineral tone gives the close-up weave a quiet, layered depth.

About this fabric

The fine ground has a close, subtly dimpled weave that reads almost white at the brightest points, while the plaster-grey tone gathers gently through the texture. A broad raised horizontal band introduces ribbed structure, edged with looping braid-like details that catch the light more softly than a smooth surface would. The restrained contrast keeps the motif refined rather than graphic, with the pale greige colouring lending it a cool, understated mood. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Corde Plaster for lightly structured curtains, Roman blinds or decorative panels in rooms built around chalk, stone and soft grey tones. Keep surrounding furnishings simple so the raised braided stripe provides the detail.

Use this pale greige textile for softly tailored curtains or relaxed decorative panels where the raised stripe can be appreciated.

Pairs well with

Corde Plaster 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.
