About this fabric

The surface is built from closely spaced cord-like ribs crossed by finer horizontal threads, giving the cloth a tactile, linear character. Its pale grey colour sits between soft silver and warm ivory, with the folded edge revealing gentle tonal depth rather than a flat solid shade. The structured appearance of the swatch makes it well suited to upholstery where the weave can be appreciated at close range. No further specification data has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Coquette Dove with charcoal, limestone and pale timber for a restrained contemporary room. Its cool, softened grey works especially well on a clean-lined chair, bench or headboard where the ribbed surface adds detail without introducing a motif.

Use this pale dove grey to bring quiet texture and a tailored finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Coquette 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.
