Dovedale Dove

Misc Fabric

Dovedale Dove is a soft, airy check in muted dove grey, warm beige and chalky cream. The layered grid feels gently weathered rather than crisp, giving the design a relaxed, lived-in look.

About this fabric

Woven in a 137cm width, Dovedale Dove combines 64% polyester, 18% cotton, 9% viscose and 9% linen, with no performance finish noted and care code NQT1<. The pattern repeat is 18cm, and the check reads clearly without feeling heavy, thanks to the pale ground and delicate overlaid lines. In this colourway the grey is soft and cool, while the beige striping adds a subtle warmth that keeps the overall effect understated. The cloth has a lightly textured, linen-blend appearance that feels versatile enough for curtains, cushions or relaxed upholstery.

How to use it

Use Dovedale Dove where you want a calm neutral with a little pattern movement, especially alongside painted woods, oak and brushed metals. Its washed grey-beige palette works well in light-filled rooms that need softness without introducing strong colour.

A muted check that suits calm upholstery or understated curtains.

Dovedale 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.
