Cameo Cement

Timeless Embroideries Fabric

Cameo Cement pairs a pale, cement-grey ground with an almost tone-on-tone embroidered lattice. In the swatch, elongated curves create a calm vertical rhythm while the low contrast keeps the surface quiet.

About this fabric

Cameo Cement is shown in a pale cement greige, with a cool taupe cast that keeps the colour softly grounded rather than bright. Fine, slightly raised tonal lines trace elongated, interlocking ogee shapes across the ground, while the close, even weave remains understated. The restrained contrast lets the curved repeat emerge through shadow and light instead of a sharp colour break. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

The cool cement greige works well at a window where its pale tone can soften stronger architectural colours. Pair the embroidered curves with chalky whites, cool stone and muted timber for a composed, quietly tailored scheme.

Use the cool cement greige tone and restrained embroidered curves to bring gentle structure to curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cameo Cement 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.
