About this fabric
Woven in 100% silk, Genoa Petrol has a fine, disciplined stripe that reads as crisp rather than bold across the swatch. The 138cm approximate width makes it practical for elegant curtains and other lined window treatments, while the small repeat of V 0cm / H 0.5cm approx confirms the subtle, almost texture-led nature of the design. The colour sits between blue and green, with a restrained greyed depth that softens the sheen and keeps it sophisticated. It has the light-catching quality you expect from silk, but the overall effect is quiet and tailored rather than glossy.
How to use it
Use this cool petrol tone for formal curtains, Roman blinds or pared-back cushions where a refined, maritime note is wanted. It works especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal finishes.
A refined silk stripe that suits tailored curtains or elegant blind treatments.

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.
