Dapple Grey Mist

Name: Dapple Grey Mist
Brand: Mark Alexander

Dapple Grey Mist is a pale, cool grey textile with a softly clouded appearance and a fine woven surface. The restrained tone keeps the swatch airy and understated, while subtle variation in the threads prevents it from looking flat.

About this fabric

The swatch reads as a misted blue-grey, with delicate shifts between lighter and slightly deeper threads across its surface. A fine, irregularly slubbed weave gives the cloth quiet tactile interest without introducing a visible motif or repeat. Its light-looking construction is best suited to drapery, where the cool shade can bring a soft, diffused quality to a window. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Dapple Grey Mist for full-length curtains in rooms with cool stone, pale timber or chalky white finishes. Its soft blue-grey tone works particularly well where you want window dressings to recede rather than add strong contrast.

A cool, lightly textured grey sheer for understated curtains and soft, light-filtering window treatments.

Dapple Grey Mist 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.
