Birch Stripe Silver

Name: Birch Stripe Silver
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4752-04

Birch Stripe Silver is a quietly structured stripe with a pale silver-grey ground and a fine, leafy motif running in neat vertical columns. The effect is crisp but softened, with enough texture in the print to keep the surface from feeling flat.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Birch Stripe Silver has the dry, natural handle and lightly irregular surface you expect from linen, which suits its calm, understated finish. The design repeats at approximately 7cm vertically and 7cm horizontally, creating evenly spaced bands of slender botanical forms rather than a bold stripe. In this colourway the palette sits in cool silver and misty grey tones, so the pattern reads subtle and architectural rather than high contrast. At approximately 143cm wide, it is a practical fabric for both furnishing and window treatments, and the BM fire code adds reassurance for contract or domestic use.

How to use it

Use Birch Stripe Silver where you want pattern without visual weight: it is especially effective on armchairs, dining seats, or tailored curtains in pale, textural rooms. Its cool grey tone pairs neatly with chalk white, weathered oak, and soft blue upholstery.

A restrained stripe that works well on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

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.
