About this fabric
This colourway of Compton has a cool silver-grey ground with pale ivory and hint-of-stone floral detailing, so the pattern stays gentle even at close range. The woven surface shows a subtle diagonal texture that gives the design a tailored, cloth-like finish rather than a flat printed look. It is a broad-width fabric at approximately 142cm wide, with a large repeat of around 74cm vertical and 71cm horizontal, so the flowing floral layout will need careful matching on larger projects. The composition of 64% viscose, 24% cotton, 5% acrylic, 4% polyester and 3% linen gives it a textured decorative handle suited to both curtains and upholstery where a smart, softly traditional look is wanted. Fire code √CM is noted.
How to use it
Use Compton Silver to bring a calm, polished note to bedrooms, drawing rooms or a formal sitting room, especially where the cool grey ground can balance painted woodwork and light upholstery. Its pale floral pattern works beautifully with chalky neutrals, muted blues or aged metallic accents.
A restrained silver ground with pale floral detailing suits elegant upholstery or quietly decorative curtains.
Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Compton Silver 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.
