Shimmer Duck Egg

Misc Fabric

Shimmer Duck Egg shows a softly striated surface with a pale, cool sheen that shifts between duck egg blue, misty taupe and blush-beige. The overall effect is calm and airy, with the shimmer catching the light in a subtle, almost pearly way.

About this fabric

This fabric is supplied with a 145cm width and a 30cm pattern repeat, and its 66% polyester, 34% viscose composition gives the surface a smooth, light-reflective finish. In this colourway, the design reads as a faded duck egg ground overlaid with delicate vertical movement and scattered blue-green accents. The muted palette keeps the pattern understated, while the fine sheen adds depth without making it feel heavy. NQT1 care instructions apply, so it is a practical decorative cloth for schemes that want colour with a soft lustre.

How to use it

Pair Shimmer Duck Egg with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed nickel for a fresh, understated room. It works especially well where you want a cool blue note that still feels gentle rather than crisp.

Use to bring a cool, gently iridescent note to upholstery or curtains.

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