Verne Duck Egg

Byron Fabric

Verne Duck Egg pairs a soft duck egg ground with a zigzag stripe that reads airy and easy. The pale, chalky palette keeps the design fresh while the repeated pattern adds a quiet rhythm across the cloth.

About this fabric

This woven fabric is composed of 91% polyester and 9% cotton, with a 140cm width and a 55cm pattern repeat. In this colourway the motif alternates between duck egg blue, warm beige and stone, all set against a clear off-white ground. The result is a light, washed-in look rather than a high-contrast graphic one, so the zigzag feels calm and approachable. The weave has a slight slubbed texture that softens the edges of the pattern and gives the fabric an easy, tactile finish.

How to use it

Use Verne Duck Egg on relaxed upholstered pieces, especially where the pale blue can lift darker woods or crisp white walls. It also works well as a coordinated drapery fabric in a room that needs a soft, coastal-feeling accent without strong colour.

A gentle duck egg stripe-like zigzag that keeps the room light and calm.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Verne Duck Egg 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.
