About this fabric
The surface is visually plain, with its character coming from the small, regular woven texture rather than a printed motif. Its cool ivory tone sits between soft white and the palest grey, giving the cloth a clean, quiet appearance without looking stark. The fabric has enough visible structure to read as a versatile mid-weight for upholstery or drapery, while the relaxed folds show a degree of softness. No performance features are noted in the supplied details, so suitability should be confirmed for the intended application.
How to use it
Use 57 Chalk to brighten a calm, tonal room on an armchair, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing its pale ivory ground with warm timber, natural linen and softly contrasting grey. Its restrained colour also works well as a light backdrop for deeper upholstery or patterned cushions.
A softly textured chalk ivory weave that brings quiet brightness to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with
57 Chalk 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.
