About this fabric

Catalogued as Soft Deep Pile, Alpina has a closely packed, plush-looking surface rather than a flat or sharply patterned construction. The pale grey tone leans cool, with fine tonal variation across the pile that prevents the colour from appearing stark. Subtle light and shadow catch on the tiny fibres, creating gentle depth without a visible motif. This is a quiet, textural colourway for schemes that need softness without strong contrast.

How to use it

Use this pale cool grey where a room needs a light, restful foundation, pairing it with crisp whites, blue-grey accents or warm natural wood to balance its coolness. The softly mottled deep pile adds tactile interest while keeping the overall look restrained.

The dense, softly mottled pile gives this pale grey a quiet, tactile presence suited to understated upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Alpina 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.
