Aloe Fabric

Aloe Soft Grey is a very pale grey textile with a quiet, almost misted appearance. Its fine vertical texture gives the otherwise plain surface a gentle sense of movement when viewed up close.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool, softened grey, light enough to sit close to ivory while retaining a discreet grey undertone. A fine vertical weave is visible across the surface, creating delicate tonal shifts rather than a pronounced pattern. The cloth has a restrained, softly matte appearance in this colourway, with no strong contrast or decorative motif. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Aloe Soft Grey for full-length curtains or relaxed blinds in rooms with cool whites, pale timber and understated grey upholstery. Its light, misty tone is especially effective where the aim is to keep a window treatment quiet and airy.

Use this pale, cool grey for understated curtains that bring a quiet, softly textured finish to the room.

Pairs well with

Aloe Soft Grey 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.
