Woodgrain Silverbirch brings a quiet, architectural rhythm to the Timeless Embroideries collection. Its pale silvery-grey ground is crossed by ivory lines that form curved woodgrain sections and angular panels.

About this fabric

The design combines sweeping concentric curves with tightly spaced vertical and diagonal lines, creating the look of stylised timber grain across the cloth. In this colourway, the cool silver-grey background keeps the pattern light and restrained, while the ivory linework catches the eye with a softly raised, stitched appearance. The medium-scale geometry has enough structure to read clearly on upholstery while remaining composed as a drapery textile, so it is classified for both uses. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool silvery-grey colourway on a contemporary armchair, headboard or full-length curtains, balancing its linear pattern with pale oak, chalk upholstery and brushed metal.

Pair this cool silvery-grey ground with chalky whites, pale timber and softly weathered neutrals.

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