161 Papyrus
Komodo Silk Fabric161
161 Papyrus is a pale, warm grey-beige with a quiet, parchment-like depth. Fine horizontal slubs and a restrained surface glint give the plain ground gentle movement without a visible motif.

About this fabric
The close, fine horizontal weave reads as a light, fluid cloth, making this fabric best suited to drapery rather than hard-wearing upholstery. Its papyrus tone sits between soft beige and warm grey, with a muted, lightly weathered quality rather than a crisp cream finish. Subtle changes in the weave catch the light across the surface, preventing the colour from appearing flat when hung. No performance features are noted for this catalogued fabric, and no composition, width or rub-test figures have been supplied.
How to use it
Use 161 Papyrus for full-length curtains in rooms built around chalky whites, pale oak and warm grey upholstery. Its softened beige tone can also temper cooler stone or plaster finishes without introducing a strong contrast.
Use this softly textured papyrus shade for calm curtains, relaxed blinds or elegant neutral window treatments.

161 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.
