About this fabric

The cool silver-grey colour is softened by warm ivory flecks, while the closely woven horizontal lines create a gently weathered appearance. Subtle variations in the threads keep the surface from looking flat, without introducing a bold motif. This item is catalogued as a fabric from Mark Alexander’s Moderna collection, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. Its restrained texture makes the colourway read as calm and understated rather than stark.

How to use it

Use Silverbirch to lighten a contemporary sofa or occasional chair, or as relaxed window dressing alongside chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey upholstery. Its cool, quiet tone also works well as a textural layer in a neutral room.

Its pale silver-grey tone and finely horizontal texture bring quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

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.
