About this fabric

The dove-grey tone reads cool and quiet against the dark background, with subtle variation across the woven surface rather than a flat block of colour. Repeated corded ribs run across the fabric, creating a structured horizontal rhythm and visible shadowing. The edges are finished with small, looped scallops that add a tactile, tailored detail. This is a substantial-looking textile suited to upholstery applications where its relief and ribbed texture can remain visible.

How to use it

Use Trio Dove on a tailored chair, headboard or upholstered panel when a restrained cool grey is wanted with more texture than a plain cloth. Pair it with charcoal, chalk white or other quiet grey tones to keep the ribbed surface and scalloped edging in focus.

A cool dove-grey, corded weave with raised ribs and scalloped edges for tailored upholstery details.

Trio 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.
