Kensey Jicama

Kensey Jicama is a pale, warm grey textile with a finely textured surface and a calm, chalky appearance. Its restrained colour lets the close, even weave provide the visual interest.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a compact plain weave formed from closely spaced pale grey threads, with a subtle crosshatched effect visible across the surface. Jicama has a warm stone-grey tone rather than a cool silver cast, giving it a softly grounded look. Light catches the fine raised threads gently, adding depth without creating a pronounced pattern. No composition, width or rub-test data has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this warm grey with off-white, oatmeal and natural timber for a quiet, tactile scheme, or use it to soften darker charcoal and black furniture frames.

Use this softly textured warm grey to bring a quiet, understated finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Kensey Jicama 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.
