About this fabric

The swatch is built from slender vertical and horizontal threads, creating a small-scale open texture rather than a defined printed motif. Subtle changes between blue-grey and lighter silvery strands give the surface gentle depth without making it appear busy. The fine, sheer-looking construction is best read as drapery, where daylight can emphasise its airy character. Overall, this colourway feels cool, softened and understated rather than bright or saturated.

How to use it

Use Sheer Sky at a window where its pale blue-grey tone can temper strong daylight without adding visual weight. It would sit naturally with chalky whites, cool stone and soft grey furnishings.

A cool, lightly textured blue-grey for airy curtains and softly filtered daylight.

Inchcolm Sheer Sky 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.
