Alys Silver

Leonora FabricF4656-02

Alys Silver pairs a pale silver ground with slender vertical stripes and a delicate floral vine that gives the cloth a quiet, tailored look. The overall effect is airy and refined, with the pattern reading clearly without feeling heavy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Alys Silver has the crisp, natural handle you would expect from a decorative fabric with a softly structured feel. The design repeats in a 16cm vertical and 66cm horizontal rhythm, creating evenly spaced bands of blossom and foliage over a fine pinstripe ground. In this colourway the silver-grey outline sits gently on the light base, so the motif feels calm and tonal rather than high contrast. At approximately 132cm wide, it is a practical furnishing cloth for schemes that want detail without visual weight, and the BM fire rating adds useful specification for domestic use.

How to use it

Use Alys Silver where you want a cool, polished neutral with pattern that stays understated from across the room. It works especially well for blinds, cushions, or a neat armchair in rooms with pale timber, stone, or brushed metal finishes.

A restrained silver stripe that suits tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Alys 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.
