Pure Whites & Alabasters
Timeless, elegant and endlessly versatile.
Inspired by crisp coastal mornings, sunlit interiors and the understated beauty of natural stone, our Pure Whites & Alabasters Colour Story celebrates one of the most enduring colour families in interior design.
From fresh architectural whites and soft ivory tones to warm alabaster hues, these fabrics bring a sense of light, calm and effortless sophistication to any interior. Their versatility allows them to complement almost every decorating style, serving as the perfect foundation for interiors that feel open, welcoming and beautifully balanced.
Whether you're designing a custom sofa, modular, lounge, ottoman, bedhead or accent chair, white upholstery fabrics create a refined backdrop that allows texture, craftsmanship and surrounding décor to shine.
"White has always been one of my favourite foundations in interior design. When layered with beautiful textures, natural materials and thoughtful styling, it has a unique ability to maximise natural light, uplift a space and create interiors that feel calm, welcoming and effortlessly timeless."
Matt Tucker - Founder & Creative Director, DECORISTA

Designer's Tip
The secret to a beautiful white interior isn't colour, it's texture.
Layering different shades of white, alabaster and ivory with bouclé, linens, textured weaves and natural materials creates depth and visual interest while maintaining a calm, cohesive aesthetic. The result is an interior that feels warm, sophisticated and inviting rather than stark or minimalist.
