About this fabric

The surface is defined by fine horizontal rows and small nubby flecks, giving the fabric a softly tactile, almost brushed appearance rather than a printed motif. Its warm parchment cream colour is muted and lightly dimensional, sitting between ivory and a pale natural beige. The close, even weave reads as a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Duet Parchment on a relaxed armchair, headboard or full-length curtain where its warm cream tone can soften stronger wood, stone or muted colour accents. Its subtle horizontal texture adds depth without introducing a competing pattern.

Use this softly textured parchment neutral to bring gentle warmth and subtle surface interest to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Duet Parchment 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.
