About this fabric

Part of the Magma collection by Fryett's Fabrics, Carnaby Dove is composed of 59% cotton and 41% polyester and comes 140cm wide. The fabric has no pattern repeat, making the subtle surface texture and tonal depth the focus rather than any overt motif. Visually, this colourway sits in a pale dove grey range with a slightly warm cast, softened further by the tight, crosshatched weave. It feels neat and restrained rather than stark, giving the cloth a smart, usable character for interiors.

How to use it

Use Carnaby Dove where you want a light grey that lifts a room without feeling cold. It pairs well with chalk whites, pale oak and darker accent colours, especially on upholstered pieces or relaxed curtains.

A quiet, versatile grey that works cleanly across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Carnaby 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.
