Wave Fabric

Wave Swedish Grey presents a calm, cool-toned grey surface with a softly blue cast. Its close, vertically drawn texture gives the plain colour gentle movement rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows fine vertical striations crossed by delicate horizontal threads, creating a restrained woven texture across the surface. Its pale Swedish grey tone reads cool and lightly blue in the image, with the close weave adding subtle depth without a strong pattern. This is a fabric SKU from Kirkby Design’s Wave collection; no composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey as a quiet foundation for contemporary seating, relaxed curtains or blinds, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and other blue-based neutrals. The fine vertical texture can add interest where a solid grey would feel too plain.

A cool, finely striated grey that brings quiet texture to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Wave Swedish 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.
