About this fabric

The design is made up of looping, hand-drawn-looking linear forms, with the pale grey lines standing gently against the whitewash background. Its fine sheer character makes it best suited to drapery, where the light ground and delicate drawing can remain visually open. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this whitewash colourway for full-length curtains in a calm, light-filled room, pairing it with chalky whites, pale stone and soft grey accents. Its low-contrast contour pattern adds movement without making the window feel busy.

A light, fluid whitewash ground with pale grey contour lines for softly patterned curtains and blinds.

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.
