About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, muted dove grey, with tiny shifts in tone that add depth without breaking up the surface. The fine linear texture runs across the fabric and creates a calm, tailored feel rather than a bold pattern. Woven in 100% polyester, it comes in a 140cm width and has a 0cm pattern repeat, making the subtle stripe-like effect easy to use across larger runs. With no performance features noted and care marked NQT1<, it is a straightforward decorative fabric for considered interiors.

How to use it

Use this grey where you want a restrained, contemporary backdrop: on a sofa, bench or headboard it will sit neatly alongside pale woods, charcoal, and crisp white. Its cool undertone also works well for simple curtains in rooms that need texture without visual noise.

A calm grey with enough texture for tailored upholstery or relaxed drapery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kensington Dove Grey 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.
