Tyndall Silver

Tyndall Silver is a softly luminous silver-grey linen blend with a fine, pebble-like texture and a gentle natural slub. The overall effect is cool and understated, with just enough depth to keep the surface from reading flat.

About this fabric

Woven in 90% Linen and 10% Polyamide, this Tyndall Linen colourway has the dry, honest character you expect from linen, but with a little extra practicality in the blend. The fabric appears as a calm silver grey with a faint warm undertone, so it sits between crisp grey and soft stone depending on the light. Its plain structure and zero repeat make the surface read clean and continuous, while the small, even weave gives it a quietly tailored look. With an approximate width of 142cm and no performance features noted, it is a versatile decorator fabric for schemes that need texture rather than pattern.

How to use it

Use Tyndall Silver on a tailored armchair, banquette, or Roman blind where its muted silver tone can soften stronger finishes. It pairs particularly well with chalk white, weathered oak, and deeper charcoal accents for a restrained, layered room.

A refined pale neutral that works beautifully across calm upholstery and soft curtains.

Pairs well with

Tyndall 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.
