Vintage Plaster has a softly weathered cream tone that recalls warm plaster, with a fine woven surface visible across the swatch. Its restrained vertical texture adds quiet depth without introducing a pattern.

About this fabric

The colour sits between pale ivory and warm beige, giving the cloth a gentle, chalky quality rather than a bright white finish. Fine vertical striations and a delicate crosswise weave create subtle variation as the light moves across the surface. This plain fabric is suitable for both upholstery and drapery based on its versatile woven appearance. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Vintage Plaster to soften a room with warm cream upholstery or full-length curtains, pairing it with aged timber, natural stone and muted taupe accents. Its plaster-like tone also works as a calm backdrop for stronger earthy colours.

A softly textured cream plain for relaxed upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Vintage 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.
