About this fabric

This Santos FR fabric is woven in 72% polyester and 28% cotton, with a 140cm width and a 12cm pattern repeat. The visible colourway is a muted dove grey, with the pattern sitting just a shade deeper than the ground so the design stays quiet rather than high-contrast. The weave appears neatly textured and fairly firm, giving the surface a practical, upholstery-friendly feel while still looking suitable for drapery. Its restrained tone and orderly repeat make it feel polished without becoming stark.

How to use it

Use Paulo FR Dove where you want pattern without visual noise: it would sit well on a compact armchair, bench seat, or Roman blind. The cool, pale grey reads especially well alongside chalk white, smoked oak, and other low-contrast neutrals.

A calm dove-grey geometric that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

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