Appledore Silver

Misc Fabric

Appledore Silver has a softly weathered grey ground with an all-over trailing leaf and berry motif in pale ivory. The fine, evenly spaced pattern gives the fabric a calm, airy feel despite the detailed design.

About this fabric

Woven in a balanced 25% linen, 25% viscose, 25% cotton and 25% polyester blend, Appledore Silver has the look of a practical decorative fabric with a natural, lightly textured finish. The silver-grey base is muted rather than bright, and the pale motif sits gently on top, creating a low-contrast, softly tonal effect. Its 140cm width and 23.5cm vertical by 27cm horizontal repeat make the scrolling botanical pattern feel regular and controlled across a larger surface. The overall impression is smart and restrained, with enough body for upholstery and enough visual lightness for curtains or blinds.

How to use it

Use this colourway to soften pale timber, painted woodwork and simple upholstery shapes, where the cool silver ground can keep the room feeling fresh. It would also pair neatly with chalk whites, misty blues or deeper charcoal accents for a layered scheme.

A quiet silver-ground floral that works well on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

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