About this fabric

The close-up shows a plain fabric with a delicate, closely spaced weave rather than a printed motif or raised pattern. Its vanilla colouring sits between ivory and light beige, with a gentle warmth that keeps the surface from appearing stark white. Subtle changes in the weave give the otherwise smooth face a restrained textile depth. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Istra Vanilla for relaxed curtains, roman blinds or soft window panels where its warm cream tone can brighten a room without looking cold. Pair it with natural timber, oat-coloured upholstery and muted stone shades to echo its quiet woven character.

A softly warm cream with a barely visible woven grain, well suited to understated curtains and blinds.

Istra Vanilla 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.
