Parallel Driftwood
Outline Fabric
Parallel Driftwood has a weathered grey-taupe ground crossed by tightly packed vertical lines. Its softly varied surface shifts between charcoal, stone and brown-grey threads, giving the colourway a settled, natural depth.

About this fabric
The close-set linear motif runs continuously through the image, with narrow darker and lighter striations creating a subtly ridged visual texture. Unlike a flat solid, the Driftwood colourway has a muted brown-grey cast that keeps the overall impression warm without losing its grey character. The dense-looking textile surface makes it a versatile option for upholstery or drapery, although no composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this exact fabric.
How to use it
Pair Parallel Driftwood with pale oak, chalky walls and softened charcoal accents to draw out its weathered, mineral tones. Its vertical texture would also bring quiet height and structure to a tailored chair, sofa or full-length curtain.
Use this weathered grey-taupe stripe to bring quiet vertical texture to tailored upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with
Parallel Driftwood 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.
