Foresta Sheer Ethereal

Sheers 1 FabricHAF0516-01

Foresta Sheer Ethereal appears as a cool, misty blue-grey veil, with blurred botanical shapes drifting through its translucent ground. In the photographed hanging folds, daylight passes through the cloth to create softly layered tones.

About this fabric

The pale blue-grey ground has a quiet, cool cast, while indistinct leafy forms emerge and fade as the fabric overlaps. Its fine, open-looking surface and 78 gsm weight make it especially suited to fluid, full-length drapery rather than upholstery. The 302 cm usable width supports tall curtain drops with minimal joining, and the design has a substantial 302 cm vertical by 269 cm horizontal repeat. With 60 threads per centimetre, the sheer has enough visual structure to hold the softly atmospheric pattern while remaining light in the window.

How to use it

Hang this misty blue-grey sheer across a broad window where its cool tone can temper bright daylight without making the room feel enclosed. It works particularly well with pale stone, washed timber and other quiet blue-grey accents.

Use this cool, translucent blue-grey sheer at full height to soften daylight while retaining an airy view beyond.

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