About this fabric

Acer 42 - Citron is a plain fabric from Swaffer’s Plain collection, shown here in a high-key citron yellow. Its compact weave is clearly visible as tiny horizontal and vertical interlacings, giving the surface gentle tactile definition. The colour is strongly saturated, with a lively lime-green warmth that changes subtly as the threads catch the light. There is no printed motif; the visual interest comes from the woven structure and slight tonal variation across the surface. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this energetic citron yellow to brighten a relaxed sitting room as a chair, cushion or curtain fabric. Its green-leaning tone pairs particularly well with warm white, natural timber and soft olive accents.

A lively citron plain weave that brings crisp colour and tactile interest to upholstery or drapery.

Acer 42 - Citron 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.
