About this fabric

The swatch shows fine, irregular vertical lines running through a pale dove-grey ground, with subtle tonal variation where the weave catches the light. The texture is restrained and linear, giving the surface a neat, quietly tailored character. It is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. The balanced appearance makes this colourway suitable to consider for either upholstery or drapery, subject to the intended application.

How to use it

Use M558 Dove to bring a cool, light grey note to an upholstered chair or full-length curtain, pairing it with white, chalk, pale oak or soft blue-grey accents. Its narrow vertical texture adds gentle direction without introducing a bold pattern.

Its cool, pale grey tone and fine vertical weave suit tailored upholstery, curtains and understated contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

M558 Dove 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.
