Porter & Stone

Bordeaux Dove

Misc Fabric

Bordeaux Dove pairs a softly woven ground with stylised floral motifs in dove grey, olive and deep bordeaux accents. The result is a refined, slightly vintage look that feels grounded rather than bright.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric comes in a 140cm width and has a 43cm pattern repeat, which suits repeating the large floral motif cleanly across furniture or curtains. The composition of 44% Poly, 31% Vis and 25% Cotton gives the cloth a tactile, softly structured handle rather than a flat printed finish. In this colourway, the palette reads as restrained and earthy: the bordeaux sits deep and muted, while the dove grey and olive soften the overall contrast. The visible weave adds gentle texture and a quietly tailored feel, making the design feel more atmospheric than bold.

How to use it

Use Bordeaux Dove on a sofa, banquette or armchair where the muted bordeaux and grey tones can warm up neutral upholstery schemes. It also works well as full-height drapery in a room with wood, stone or aged brass finishes.

A softly textured floral that brings muted colour and structure to upholstery or statement drapery.

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