About this fabric

The Faience colourway sets a dusty blue-grey ground against narrow vertical stripes in white, charcoal and softer grey-blue. The fine linear repeat creates a measured rhythm, while the restrained contrast keeps the overall effect calm rather than high-impact. Catalogued as a fabric, it has no performance features noted in the supplied specification. On the swatch, the slim stripe scale and cool tonal palette make it particularly suited to a neat, composed drapery treatment.

How to use it

Use Faience for full-length curtains or blinds where its cool blue-grey ground can add height without overwhelming the room. Pair it with chalky whites, pale grey upholstery and charcoal accents to echo the stripe’s measured contrast.

Use this cool blue-grey stripe to bring crisp vertical rhythm and tailored contrast to curtains or blinds.

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.
