Constance Dove

Misc Fabric

Constance Dove is a softly faded floral fabric with a cool dove-grey palette over a warm ivory ground. The large-scale blooms and leaves feel airy rather than heavy, with the darker outlines giving the design gentle definition.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Constance Dove has a natural, slightly matte handle that suits relaxed upholstery or softer drapery alike. The 140cm width and 63cm pattern repeat make the design practical for larger projects while keeping the floral rhythm broad and spacious. In this colourway, the roses, leaves and botanical clusters read in layered greys from pale mist to charcoal, so the pattern feels calm and understated rather than high contrast. The cream background keeps the surface light, while the grey detailing adds enough depth to hold interest across cushions, occasional chairs or curtains. Care instructions: AQW1<.

How to use it

Use Constance Dove in a bedroom or sitting room where its cool grey florals can sit against chalky paint, oak and stone. It works especially well with linen, brushed nickel and muted sage accents.

Pair with quiet neutrals and pale timber to let the airy floral sit softly in the room.

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