Bourne Grey Mist

Name: Bourne Grey Mist
Brand: Mark Alexander

Bourne Grey Mist pairs a cool, pale grey with chalk white in a quietly irregular vertical stripe. The close weave and softened stripe edges give the swatch a calm, tactile look rather than a high-contrast graphic effect.

About this fabric

Bourne Grey Mist is catalogued as a Fabric in Mark Alexander’s Casual collection, with no performance features noted. Across the swatch, chalky white and cool mist-grey bands run vertically in uneven widths, ranging from very narrow lines to broader grey stripes. The fine visible weave gives each stripe softly feathered edges rather than a hard printed outline, while the pale palette keeps the surface light. Its fine, light-looking construction makes this colourway best suited to drapery, where the vertical rhythm can read as relaxed and understated.

How to use it

Use the cool mist-grey and chalk-white stripe for relaxed curtains or simple Roman blinds, particularly where a pale, airy scheme needs gentle vertical movement. It pairs naturally with soft whites, weathered timber and other quiet grey tones.

A cool grey-and-white stripe for relaxed curtains and softly layered windows.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bourne Grey Mist 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.
