Tarn Silver

Tarn FabricF4793-06

Tarn Silver reads as a soft, silvery neutral with a gentle matte sheen and a subtly slubbed weave. The surface feels calm and understated, with a fine horizontal texture that keeps the colourway from looking flat.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a pale silver-grey ground with warm undertones, softened by the linen-and-jute blend and lifted by the slight irregularity of the weave. Its 145cm approx width and zero repeat make it especially practical for cutting without pattern match concerns, while the composition of 35% Linen, 27% Jute, 19% Acrylic, 14% Cotton, 4% Polyester and 1% Polyamide suggests a sturdy yet natural handle. The finish visible in the image is matte rather than shiny, with faint striations that give the fabric depth in changing light. With no performance features noted and a √BM fire code, it sits comfortably in refined interior schemes that need a quiet, tailored neutral.

How to use it

Use Tarn Silver on an upholstered armchair, bench or headboard where its soft grey tone can sit between chalk whites and darker timber finishes. It also works well in drapery-led schemes when you want a light, quietly textured neutral that doesn’t read stark.

A quietly refined neutral that layers easily with stone, chalk and deeper charcoal accents.

Pairs well with

Tarn Silver 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.
