About this fabric

The Moonbeam colourway is a soft ivory-cream, with a subtle tonal grid rather than a strongly contrasting check. Fine intersecting lines give the surface a lightly textured, woven appearance, while the pale shade catches the light with a quiet, chalky softness. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric. The small-scale design remains discreet enough to read as texture from a distance, with the check becoming clearer up close.

How to use it

Use this warm cream colourway to lighten a tailored armchair, headboard or pair of curtains, especially alongside natural timber, oat tones and softly aged neutrals. Its restrained check can add definition without introducing a strong colour statement.

A softly textured cream check that brings quiet structure to upholstery and window treatments.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Draughts Moonbeam without fighting it. 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.
