About this fabric

The swatch presents a clean white textile with a faint cool-grey cast, rather than a warm ivory shade. Its fine vertical weave creates delicate tonal movement as the light passes across the surface, while keeping the overall impression calm and uncluttered. The close image suggests a lightweight cloth suited to drapery, where this restrained texture can soften a bright window without adding visual weight. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Jazz Opal White at windows in rooms that need a clear, airy finish, pairing its cool opal tone with pale grey, chalky timber and brushed metal. Its barely-there vertical texture also works well alongside stronger architectural shapes without competing with them.

A cool, almost-white ground with a fine vertical texture for calm, light-filled window treatments.

Jazz Opal White 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.
