About this fabric

The finely woven ground reads as a quiet silver grey, with subtle tonal variation visible through the cloth’s natural-looking surface. Raised ivory-white lines form linked diamonds and zigzagging contours, giving the design a crisp, graphic edge without strong colour contrast. The light embroidery catches the surface slightly, adding texture and definition against the muted ground. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Lente Silverbirch for curtains or Roman blinds in a calm, light-filled room, pairing its cool silver ground with chalky whites, pale grey upholstery and softly weathered wood. The white geometric embroidery also works well alongside simple, unpatterned furnishings.

Use this cool silvery-grey colourway for softly tailored curtains that complement white, chalk and pale timber interiors.

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.
