About this fabric

The fabric appears finely woven, with a pale ivory base crossed by an irregular narrow stripe of small warm taupe and brownish marks. These restrained accents add gentle definition without disturbing the lightness of the ground. The raised and recessed weave catches the light subtly, giving the surface a quiet tactile quality. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Cousu Natural for relaxed ivory curtains in rooms that benefit from a bright, softened backdrop. Its small taupe details can be picked up in warm neutral upholstery, linen, or light timber nearby.

A delicate ivory ground with tiny taupe accents, suited to light, understated window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cousu Natural without fighting it. 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.
