Name: Casual Silverbirch
Brand: Mark Alexander

Casual Silverbirch is a cool silver-grey fabric with a fine, closely spaced vertical texture. Its softly varied surface catches the light subtly, giving the colour gentle depth rather than a flat grey appearance.

About this fabric

The fabric shows a narrow vertical striation, with delicate tonal shifts running through the silver-grey ground. Its fine, compact weave reads as light and softly textured, making it particularly suited to fluid drapery. The cool birch-grey shade has a quiet, understated character that works well where a room needs texture without a strong pattern. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Casual Silverbirch for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds, where its cool silver-grey tone and vertical texture can make a window treatment feel taller and more considered.

Use its cool silver-grey tone and fine vertical texture for softly tailored curtains in calm, contemporary rooms.

Pairs well with

Casual Silverbirch 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.
