Calais Papyrus

About this fabric

This colourway shows a fine, even weave with a subtle linen-like texture and a muted beige tone that leans gently warm rather than grey. It is specified as a curtaining fabric, and the 300 cm width makes it especially suitable for generous window dressings with fewer joins. The composition is 52% Recycled Polyester and 48% Polyester, giving the cloth a practical synthetic blend while keeping the surface looking soft and understated. With a plain pattern repeat and no martindale rub test noted, this is a clean, versatile choice for a calm decorative backdrop.

How to use it

Use Papyrus for full-length curtains or blinds where you want a restrained, sun-warmed neutral that won’t compete with timber or painted finishes. It pairs neatly with chalk white, limestone, and natural oak for an understated layered scheme.

A soft neutral that brings calm warmth to spacious, light-filled interiors.

Pairs well with

Calais Papyrus 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.
