Allure Dove is a quiet taupe-grey textile with a softly mottled surface and gentle, brushed-looking lustre. Its pale dove tone shifts subtly between cool grey and warm greige across the swatch, giving the plain ground visible depth.

About this fabric

At 518gsm, this is a substantial fabric suited to upholstery, with enough visual weight to make the softly textured surface feel grounded rather than delicate. Fine horizontal and vertical variations are visible across the close-up, while the light catches selected areas with a restrained, velvety-looking sheen. The 140cm usable width supports practical upholstery cutting, and the 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make matching straightforward. Supplied in a standard 25m length, Allure Dove offers a continuous plain ground for coordinated seating or cushions.

How to use it

Use the cool, muted dove taupe on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its subtle sheen can catch side light without becoming glossy. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak and deeper mushroom or charcoal accents to draw out the shade’s grey-greige depth.

Use this softly lustrous dove taupe as a calm upholstery base for tailored seating and layered neutral schemes.

Allure 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.
