Overlap Silverbirch

Overlap Silverbirch has a luminous silvery-white ground with a barely perceptible arrangement of overlapping rectangular forms. The fine, translucent surface gives the colourway a cool, quiet presence as light moves across it.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric in Mark Alexander’s Timeless Linen Sheers collection, no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. In this colourway, the cool silvery-white ground is crossed by subtly paler and deeper woven rectangles, creating a softly layered grid rather than a bold motif. Its fine, open-looking construction allows the light to catch gently across the surface without making it appear dense or opaque. The delicate visual weight and sheerness make it best suited to drapery, where the tonal pattern can remain understated against daylight.

How to use it

Use Overlap Silverbirch for full-length curtains in a cool, pale scheme of chalk, soft grey and silver. Its lightly layered rectangular texture would also work well as a sheer front layer paired with a more substantial privacy lining.

A delicate silvery sheer for softly filtered curtains and layered window treatments.

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