Okari Fabric

Istra Chalk is a very pale, cool white textile with a restrained surface texture. In the swatch image, its chalk tone reads almost white while the fine weave adds a soft, barely perceptible depth.

About this fabric

The fabric has an even, finely woven appearance rather than a visible motif or directional pattern. Its cool chalk-white colour catches the light gently, creating a clean and airy impression without the starkness of bright paper white. Catalogued as a fabric, the supplied record lists no performance features; the delicate-looking surface is therefore the clearest guide to its use. The fine visual weight makes it especially suited to light drapery and understated window treatments.

How to use it

Use Istra Chalk for curtains in rooms with pale oak, limestone or soft grey finishes, where its cool near-white tone can keep the scheme bright without introducing a harsh contrast. It also works as a quiet backdrop for muted blue, stone and natural-texture furnishings.

Use this cool chalk-white cloth to bring a quiet, light-reflective finish to curtains and soft window treatments.

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.
