About this fabric

The background is a cool, near-pale grey with a close, even weave that catches the light softly rather than appearing stark white. A raised elongated motif runs diagonally through the image, built from fine linear fibres that create a gently brushed, feathered effect. The tonal contrast is subtle: deeper grey gathers along the motif’s edges and within its textured centre, giving the pattern definition without strong colour contrast. With its fine-looking cloth and tactile linear detail, Embellir Cement is particularly suited to drapery where the motif can read across a wider hanging surface.

How to use it

Use Embellir Cement for full-length curtains in a cool white, pale grey or limestone room, where its soft cement tone will add depth without darkening the scheme. Keep surrounding furnishings quiet and let the diagonal textured motif provide the movement.

A cool cement-grey ground with a tactile, feather-like motif that adds quiet movement to curtains and soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Embellir Cement 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.
