Water Meadow Zen Dove Flat

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

Water Meadow Zen Dove Flat shows a softly structured geometric with a calm, stone-like taupe ground. The pattern sits close to the surface, giving the cloth a quietly tailored look rather than a bold contrast.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric has a natural handle and a matte, softly napped appearance that suits the understated geometry visible in the swatch. The 46cm horizontal and vertical repeat creates a balanced block motif, while the 141cm usable width gives good scope for upholstery and drapery projects. With a Martindale of 20,000 and General Domestic upholstery grading, it is a practical choice for everyday seating as well as curtains and accessories. The Dove Flat colourway reads as a muted grey-taupe with cool stone notes, so the design feels grounded, calm and easy to pair. It is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, and includes Better Cotton content.

How to use it

Use this soft taupe tone to quieten stronger patterns elsewhere in the room, or pair it with oak, chalk white and textured neutrals for a layered scheme. Its low-contrast geometry works especially well on occasional chairs, cushion panels and relaxed blinds.

A quietly textured neutral that layers easily with warm wood, linen and pale metallic accents.

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.
