Liason Embrace Ecru has a warm ivory-beige appearance, with close-set woven ribs that give the pale colour a softly tactile finish. In the image, its light tone stands out clearly against deep charcoal folds.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a compact ecru textile with a finely ridged surface and a subtle diagonal rhythm within the weave. Its warm beige cast feels natural rather than stark white, while the raised structure creates gentle tonal variation as the light moves across it. The textile appears firm and substantial as it crosses the darker drapery behind it, rather than fluid or sheer. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its visible weave and intended application should guide selection.

How to use it

Use this warm ecru colourway to lighten tailored upholstery, especially alongside charcoal textiles like those shown behind the swatch. Natural wood and soft grey would reinforce its understated, woven character.

Pair the warm ecru weave with charcoal, soft grey or natural timber for a quietly tailored scheme.

Liason Embrace 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.
