Mallow Slate/Dove

Mallow Slate/Dove presents a finely detailed floral in cool slate grey, dove and soft ivory. The closely spaced blooms and curling foliage create a quietly layered surface rather than a bold, open pattern.

About this fabric

This 226gsm fabric is filled with small flowers, leafy stems and delicate botanical tracery, with slate-grey detail softened by a pale dove ground and ivory blooms. Its muted, cool colour balance gives the design a gentle, slightly silvery appearance across the swatch. The fabric has a 138cm usable width and a 40m standard length, offering practical coverage for larger projects. A 26.5cm vertical repeat and 46cm horizontal repeat define the compact floral layout and should be allowed for when pattern matching.

How to use it

Pair Mallow Slate/Dove with chalky whites, pale grey upholstery and weathered timber for a calm, light-filled scheme. Its cool slate detailing also works well with blue-grey accents in curtains, cushions or a refined occasional chair.

Use this cool, understated floral for refined curtains, occasional upholstery or softly tailored seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Mallow Slate/Dove without fighting it. 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.
