About this fabric

This catalogued fabric has a fine woven surface in a gentle ecru shade, with a subtle close texture visible across the ground. A horizontal decorative band runs through the swatch, formed from fine, irregular strands that create a softly tactile fringe. The warm ivory colouring keeps the design delicate rather than stark, while the band adds definition and a relaxed handcrafted character. Its light-looking construction makes it particularly suited to drapery where the horizontal detail can be displayed clearly.

How to use it

Use Embellir Ecru for relaxed curtains or a tailored Roman blind in rooms built around warm whites, pale timber and natural textures. Position the fringed band where it can read as a considered horizontal accent rather than letting it disappear into a hem.

Use the pale ecru ground and horizontal fringed band to add quiet texture to relaxed, tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Embellir 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.
