About this fabric

The fabric is woven in a soft dove-grey shade, with slightly deeper grey lines forming compact, interlocking rectangular motifs across the face. The close-set pattern reads as structured rather than decorative, while the woven surface gives the colour gentle variation instead of a flat block of grey. Its restrained contrast and even repeat make the design feel smart and architectural without becoming stark. As no further specification data is supplied, suitability is judged from the visible mid-weight woven appearance, which lends itself to both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Pair this cool dove-grey colourway with chalky whites, silvered woods and pale stone for a calm, contemporary room. The tonal rectangular repeat also works well as a structured counterpoint to plain upholstery and softer organic textures.

Use this cool dove-grey geometric weave to add quiet structure to contemporary upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

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