Knightsbridge Dove Grey

Knightsbridge Dove Grey is an almost chalky, cool grey linen with a quiet, close plain weave. Its softly uneven surface catches the light gently, giving the swatch muted, powdery depth rather than a flat white appearance.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, Knightsbridge Dove Grey is supplied at 140 cm (55") wide. The 28,000 Wyzenbeek Cotton Duck rub test gives this understated cloth practical upholstery credentials, while its fine, even structure also suits drapery. Visually, the colour is a pale dove grey with a cool blush of beige-grey in the weave, creating a softened neutral effect. Delicate vertical and horizontal linen variation adds texture without introducing a visible pattern.

How to use it

Use this cool dove grey to lighten an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, or as relaxed curtains against white, chalk, pale oak and other quiet natural finishes. Its muted tone works especially well where a room needs softness without the warmth of cream or beige.

A cool, chalky linen neutral with enough durability for upholstery and an easy drape for curtains.

Pairs well with

Knightsbridge Dove Grey 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.
