About this fabric

This catalogued fabric has a finely textured, melton-like surface in a pale dove grey, with subtle darker and lighter flecks visible across the weave. Its dense visual weight makes it best suited to upholstery, particularly where a softly structured finish is preferred. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability should be assessed against the intended project requirements.

How to use it

Pair the cool dove-grey tone with chalky whites, weathered timber and blue-grey accents for a calm scheme, or use it to soften darker charcoal and walnut pieces. Its understated texture works especially well on tailored chairs, headboards and occasional seating.

Use this softly mottled dove grey on upholstered seating where its quiet texture can complement both pale and deeper furnishings.

Pairs well with

Montrose Melton Dove 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.
