About this fabric

The colour sits between cool grey and gentle taupe, giving the swatch a softened, settled appearance. Its smooth face is visually uniform, while the fine surface texture adds just enough depth to prevent the shade from looking flat. No performance features or further specification data are noted in the supplied information for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Smooth Dove where a room needs a light, warm grey foundation without starkness; it will sit comfortably beside natural timber, off-whites and deeper charcoal accents.

Use this softly warm dove grey as a calm neutral for upholstered seating, curtains or coordinating cushions.

Pairs well with

Smooth 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.
