About this fabric

The surface reads as quiet and textural rather than patterned, with delicate horizontal lines running consistently across the pale ground. In the light, the pearl tone shifts gently between soft grey and a restrained green-grey, giving it more depth than a flat white. This colourway is catalogued as wallpaper in Mark Alexander’s Paperweave collection, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Pair Shifu Pearl with chalky whites, pale stone and muted sage accents for a cool, understated room scheme. Its fine horizontal texture would add gentle depth behind simple furniture without introducing a strong motif.

Use this softly cool pearl tone to create a calm, finely textured backdrop.

Shifu Pearl 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.
