About this fabric

Woven in 100% Polyolefin, Tahiti Mer has a dry, lightly slubbed handle that reads as practical and relaxed rather than polished. The plain construction has no visible repeat, and the approx. 142cm width makes it straightforward for making up across larger spans. In this colourway, the grey sits in a soft, misty register with faint blue undertones and a slightly clouded surface that catches the light quietly. The overall effect is airy and muted, with enough texture to give depth without drawing attention away from surrounding furniture or drapery.

How to use it

Use this pale grey on tailored curtains, slipcovers or simple upholstered pieces where you want texture without heaviness. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, oak and brushed metal for a restrained coastal or contemporary scheme.

A versatile pale grey with a lightly slubbed surface that feels calm and contemporary.

Pairs well with

Tahiti Mer is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
