Kabalya Dove

Montage Fabric

Kabalya Dove pairs a cool, pale dove-grey ground with densely drawn white botanical linework. Leaves, stems and curling tendrils overlap across the surface, giving the colourway a detailed yet light-reading character.

About this fabric

The soft grey background has a slightly mottled textile texture, while the fine white outlines pick out layered leaves, grasses and delicate curling forms. Its restrained contrast keeps the busy botanical drawing gentle rather than dramatic, with the cool ground giving the design a calm, silvery tone. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Kabalya Dove where a room needs pattern without strong colour: it would suit a softly tailored chair, occasional upholstery, cushions or relaxed curtains alongside chalky whites, pale timber and cool stone tones.

Use the cool dove-grey ground and white foliage linework to bring quiet pattern to upholstery, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

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