About this fabric

The swatch has a softly warm cream ground, close to chalk, plaster and sunlit ivory rather than a bright optical white. Very fine horizontal and vertical threads create a subtle crosswoven texture, with occasional slubby variation visible across the surface. There is no printed motif; the interest comes from the quiet, almost gauze-like weave and the way it gently catches the light. Catalogued as a fabric with no performance features noted, it is best suited to light, decorative drapery.

How to use it

Use Delphi Plaster for relaxed full-length curtains where its pale plaster tone can soften strong daylight without introducing a noticeable colour cast. It pairs naturally with warm whites, limestone, pale oak and other quietly textured neutrals.

A softly textured pale cream sheer for calm, naturally lit windows.

Delphi Plaster 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.
