Hadleigh FR Dove

Katrine FR Fabric

Hadleigh FR Dove reads as a calm, soft taupe with a gentle dove-grey cast. The close weave gives it a finely textured, understated surface that feels quietly refined.

About this fabric

This colourway has a muted dove-taupe tone, sitting between warm beige and cool grey for a balanced, easy-to-use neutral. The plain woven surface shows a subtle peppered texture that adds depth without introducing a visible pattern, and the 0cm pattern repeat confirms its clean, undisturbed look. Woven in 100% polyester and measuring 140cm wide, it is a practical fabric choice for interiors that need a simple, tailored finish. The FR designation sits well with its restrained appearance, making the shade feel smart rather than decorative.

How to use it

Use it on streamlined seating, headboards or pared-back curtains where the soft grey-brown tone can settle into the room without competing with other finishes. It pairs naturally with pale oak, chalk white and deeper graphite accents.

A versatile neutral that works cleanly across tailored upholstery and understated curtains.

Pairs well with

Hadleigh FR Dove 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.
