About this fabric

The image shows a pale cream ground with delicate tonal variation rather than a printed motif. Small raised fibres create the gently nubby surface associated with bouclé, giving the colourway a soft, tactile look. The dense-looking texture reads naturally for upholstery, especially where a calm, light finish is wanted. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair the soft porcelain cream with warm timber, chalky plaster tones and understated natural linens. It can brighten a compact room while retaining enough texture to prevent an all-pale scheme from feeling flat.

Use this softly textured porcelain cream on upholstered seating for a light, tactile finish.

Pairs well with

Couscous Porcelain 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.
