Portland Waterbury Flint Wavy

SS22 Images - Enchanted Garden, Geometrica, Water Meadow & Portland Fabric

Portland Waterbury Flint Wavy shows a softly striated, cool taupe ground with pale vertical bands that give the swatch a tailored, relaxed rhythm. The tonal contrast stays muted and chalky rather than sharp, so the stripes feel understated from a distance and textured up close.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric has a usable width of 137cm and a 35cm horizontal pattern repeat, making the stripe layout easy to plan across larger pieces. Its Heavy Domestic rating and 30,000 Martindale test support upholstery as well as drapery, and it is also treatable for FR drapery and upholstery. Visually, the Flint colourway reads as a cool grey-beige taupe with soft ivory stripe highlights, giving the surface a dry, lightly brushed appearance. The overall effect is calm and refined, with enough tonal depth to add definition without feeling busy.

How to use it

Pair this cool taupe stripe with washed linen, smoked oak and pale plaster finishes for a quiet contemporary scheme. It works especially well on tailored dining chairs, Roman blinds or curtains where the vertical stripe can elongate the room.

Use for tailored curtains or refined upholstery with a calm, contemporary feel.

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.
