Wave Dove

Name: Wave Dove
Brand: Kirkby Design

Wave Fabric

Wave Dove appears as a very pale, cool dove grey, with a softly mottled surface rather than a flat solid. Fine vertical striations run through the weave, creating restrained wave-like movement as the light shifts across it.

About this fabric

This colourway stays close to a misted silver grey, with delicate tonal variation breaking up the pale ground. The close view shows fine vertical threads and a lightly irregular weave, giving the surface a quiet tactile quality. Its low-contrast rhythm adds texture without introducing a strong printed motif.

How to use it

Use this cool, pale grey on curtains, blinds or lightly tailored upholstery alongside white, chalk and soft stone. Its subtle vertical texture will add depth while keeping the room light and visually calm.

A pale cool-grey woven texture with subtle vertical movement for calm, understated schemes.

Pairs well with

Wave 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.
