Elysian Dove

Plains & Semi Plains Fabric

Elysian Dove is a calm, textural plain with a softly heathered taupe surface and a gentle, low-contrast finish. The weave reads clean and refined, with just enough movement to keep the colourway from feeling flat.

About this fabric

Part of Fryett's Fabrics' Plains & Semi Plains collection, Elysian Dove is a fabric with a 137cm width, a 65% polyester and 35% cotton composition, and no repeat. In this colourway, the swatch shows a cool mushroom taupe with a slightly greige cast, softened by fine horizontal striations and subtle thread variation. The overall effect is understated rather than bold, giving the fabric a smooth, modern look with a lightly organic texture. Its balanced construction makes it a practical choice where a restrained neutral is needed without losing surface interest.

How to use it

Use Elysian Dove on an upholstered armchair or banquette for a tailored neutral that sits comfortably beside oak, walnut and pale stone. It also works well as relaxed drapery in a room where you want the window treatment to blend quietly into the background.

A quietly versatile neutral that layers easily with wood, stone and darker accent colours.

Pairs well with

Elysian 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.
