Balance Frosted
Tate Fabric
Balance Frosted has a cool, pale-grey appearance with a softly frosted cast. Its surface shows a fine, closely woven texture that gives the plain colour subtle depth without a visible motif.

About this fabric
The colour reads as a light, neutral grey, with a slightly silvery quality where the surface catches the light. A tiny, even woven texture runs across the swatch, creating gentle tonal variation rather than a pronounced pattern. This mid-weight-looking textile is classified as suitable for both upholstery and drapery from its visible weave. No performance features or further technical specifications have been supplied for this exact fabric.
How to use it
Use Balance Frosted to keep a room feeling light and cool, particularly on softly tailored seating, Roman blinds or full-length curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and restrained blue-grey accents to echo its frosted tone.
Its cool, pale-grey tone and fine woven texture bring quiet refinement to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Balance Frosted 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.
