About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, M568 Silverbirch is shown here as a quiet plain weave rather than a patterned textile. Fine horizontal and vertical threads create a delicate linen-like texture, while the light surface shifts subtly between silver-grey and warm off-white. The low-contrast colour keeps the cloth airy and understated, with enough woven detail to prevent the pale tone from appearing flat.

How to use it

Use this cool birch-grey colourway for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds where its fine weave can catch daylight gently. It sits naturally with chalky whites, pale woods and other softly washed neutrals.

Use its cool, pale birch-grey tone to bring a quiet, finely textured finish to softly lit rooms.

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.
