Emile II FabricJ896F-10

Emile Dove is a quietly refined plain fabric in a soft dove grey, with a smooth, even surface that reads calm and contemporary. The colour sits in a cool-neutral register, lending the swatch a light, misty character rather than a hard silver finish.

About this fabric

From Jane Churchill’s Emile II collection, Emile Dove is a fabric with a 140cm approximate width and a simple no-repeat construction, making the emphasis fall on colour and handle rather than pattern. The blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester gives the surface a balanced, tightly woven look with a subtle matt softness. In this colourway, the grey is gently warmed with a faint taupe undertone, so it feels less stark than a clean stone grey and more restful in tone. C 8 + T 3 care and fire code K are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Emile Dove where you want a quiet backdrop for pale timber, chalky paint colours, or darker contrast welts. Its muted dove-grey depth makes it especially useful for tailored upholstery or understated blinds in modern classic interiors.

A calm neutral that works neatly across upholstery and relaxed 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.
