Water Meadow Zen Dove Wavy

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

Water Meadow Zen Dove Wavy reads as a cool stone taupe with a softly mottled, woven surface that catches the light in subtle bands. The overall effect is calm and grounded, with just enough texture to keep the colourway feeling alive.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in 100% cotton and measures 141cm wide, with a 46cm horizontal and vertical pattern repeat. It has a General Domestic upholstery grade, a Martindale of 20,000, and is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, making it a practical choice for a range of interior uses. Visually, the colour sits between grey and taupe with a low-contrast, weathered look that gives the surface depth without feeling busy. The woven texture softens the tone further, so the finish feels natural and understated rather than polished. Better Cotton content adds to its appeal for customers looking for a fabric with a more considered profile.

How to use it

Use this cool taupe on a clean-lined sofa or armchair where the texture can do the talking. It also works well for relaxed curtains, especially alongside pale oak, chalk white or muted sage.

A versatile taupe with a quietly textured look that suits soft upholstery or tailored drapery.

Water Meadow Zen Dove Wavy 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.
