About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Dakota Dove is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, with a 60,000 rub test and a 147 cm width. The fabric carries a dry, lightly striated texture that reads as softened dove grey rather than a flat silver, with faint tonal movement across the surface. At 441 grams per linear metre, it has enough substance to hold its shape while still feeling versatile across furniture and window treatments. Made in Spain, this is a practical plain with a refined, muted finish that works well where durability and understatement are both important.

How to use it

Use Dakota Dove on clean-lined seating, dining chairs or pelmets where the cool grey tone can sharpen a scheme without feeling severe. It pairs especially well with chalk white, pale oak and deeper graphite accents.

A calm dove grey with a softly brushed texture that suits tailored, pared-back schemes.

Pairs well with

Dakota Dove 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.
