About this fabric

The cool silver-grey base gives this colourway an airy, silvery appearance, while the repeated motifs add fine visual depth without becoming dominant. Seen closely, the surface has a gentle textile texture and a narrow vertical rhythm that subtly lengthens the design. The restrained contrast between the pale ground and slightly deeper grey pattern keeps the overall effect light and composed. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Bantu Silverbirch for light window treatments or relaxed curtain panels where its cool silver-grey tone can sit alongside white, pale timber and dove-grey upholstery. Its small-scale pattern brings detail without overwhelming a softly furnished room.

Pair its cool silver-grey ground with white, chalk and soft dove-grey furnishings for a calm, finely patterned scheme.

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.
