Danube Check Dove

Danube Fabric

Danube Check Dove pairs pale dove, cool grey and charcoal in a softly blurred check, with the linen weave giving the pattern a naturally tactile surface. The folds reveal shifting bands of light and shadow across this quietly tonal colourway.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Danube Check Dove is supplied at approximately 137cm wide for curtains. Its checks, around 4cm, are formed from layered dove, mid-grey and charcoal tones rather than sharp high-contrast colour, giving the design a softened, atmospheric depth. The visible slub and fine weave catch the light differently over the folds, bringing gentle movement to the otherwise structured plaid. After-care is dry clean, as specified for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool grey check for full-length curtains in a room with chalky walls, smoked timber or blackened metal, allowing the dove squares to lift the deeper charcoal bands. It also suits a restrained scheme of stone, graphite and soft white where the linen texture can remain the main point of interest.

A cool, softly textured linen check for curtains, with charcoal depth and pale dove highlights.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Danube Check Dove without fighting it. 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.
