Grain Fabric

Grain Dove is a softly muted dove-grey fabric with a fine, cloudy surface texture. Its low-contrast tonal variation gives the colour gentle depth without forming a distinct motif.

About this fabric

The surface appears woven and lightly mottled, with pale and mid-grey threads blending into a soft, stone-like finish. Dove grey keeps the colour cool and restrained, while the irregular grain stops it from looking flat or stark. The small-scale texture is visible across the swatch rather than reading as a repeated pattern. This is catalogued as a fabric, and no further composition or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Grain Dove on a relaxed sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool grey tone can sit alongside warm oak, off-white boucle and pale taupe accents. Keep surrounding patterns understated so the softly varied weave remains the detail.

Use this quiet dove-grey texture on relaxed upholstery, paired with warm wood, chalky neutrals and softly contrasting linens.

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.
