Polo Marble has a cool, pale grey-beige ground crossed by closely spaced vertical lines. The fine striation gives the surface a softly textured, quietly dimensional appearance.

About this fabric

Viewed up close, this colourway combines warm ivory-beige threads with cooler grey and faint blue-grey lines, creating a restrained marble-like effect rather than a flat solid. The narrow vertical structure is irregular enough to retain a natural woven character, while remaining visually calm from a distance. Its fine, closely set construction reads as a light, fluid textile suited to drapery. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Polo Marble for full-length curtains where its pale grey-beige colouring can soften a cool interior without adding strong pattern. It would also suit simple Roman blinds, paired with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and brushed metal.

Its fine vertical texture and pale grey-beige tone would bring quiet height and light to curtains or relaxed Roman blinds.

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