About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool silver-grey on a pale natural-looking ground, with the tiny leafy motif sitting close in tone for a soft, low-contrast finish. The design has a neat, small repeat of approximately V 13cm and H 14cm, which helps the pattern feel orderly rather than busy. Woven in 51% Cotton and 49% Linen, it has the dry, lightly textured character you would expect from that blend, while the 141cm approximate width makes it practical for a range of domestic projects. With no performance features noted and a √BM fire code, it suits considered interior schemes where a calm, classical pattern is preferred.

How to use it

Use Blythe Silver to soften upholstery, blind panels or full-length curtains in rooms that need a lighter, fresher take on pattern. Its cool grey tone pairs well with chalky neutrals, pale woods and polished metals for a crisp, elegant finish.

Use for tailored upholstery or elegant curtains where a quiet tonal pattern is wanted.

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