About this fabric

This Dedar jacquard fabric is built around a large-scale pastoral composition, with dark foreground trees framing pale hills, water and a distant bridge. The Chiaro Scuro colourway stays within an ink, slate and soft grey palette, giving the scene a cool, atmospheric depth rather than a high-contrast or brightly coloured effect. Fine woven texture is visible throughout the image, particularly in the softly mottled sky and shaded hillside areas. No composition, width or performance figures are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair the cool blue-grey landscape with chalky whites, weathered timber and soft grey upholstery to reinforce its misty, tonal character. Use the full repeat on curtains or a feature chair where the branching canopy and distant vista can be read clearly.

Use this cool blue-grey scenic jacquard for statement upholstery or full-length curtains against quiet neutral furnishings.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside À Contre-jour Chiaro Scuro 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.
