About this fabric

The alabaster tone reads as a light, gently warm neutral, with the folds creating subtle shifts from ivory highlights to soft greyed shadow. Fine closely spaced lines run across the surface, giving the cloth a quiet woven character visible at close range. The fabric gathers into smooth, flexible drapes, indicating a light and fluid handle suited to curtain applications. Its restrained colour and low-contrast texture create a calm, polished look without visual pattern.

How to use it

Use Sketch Alabaster for full-length curtains or relaxed wave-fold panels where its pale cream tone can brighten the room without stark white contrast. Pair it with warm stone, natural timber and softly layered neutrals to echo the fabric’s gentle depth.

A pale alabaster cloth with a fine linear texture and fluid folds, ideal for understated curtains and soft window treatments.

Pairs well with

Sketch Alabaster 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.
