About this fabric

The surface combines delicate, pale floral and damask-like motifs with subtle tonal variation, creating a gently distressed effect rather than a sharp printed contrast. Fine vertical lines remain visible through the pattern, reinforcing the cloth’s sheer, lightly textured appearance. As part of Mark Alexander’s Timeless Linen Sheers collection, this fabric is best suited to drapery, where its cool grey tone can filter light without becoming stark. The supplied record lists no composition, width or performance features for this fabric.

How to use it

Hang M655 Dove at a bright window where its cool grey ground and translucent texture can temper daylight. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber and soft grey upholstery for a calm, layered scheme.

Use this cool, pale dove-grey sheer to soften windows while retaining a quietly textured, relaxed look.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside M655 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.
