About this fabric

The image shows a light, cool blue-grey ground crossed by closely spaced, uneven horizontal ripples. Subtle vertical shifts in tone give the cloth a softly striated appearance, while the fine weave remains airy rather than dense. The restrained colour and low-contrast texture create a quiet, misted effect as the surface catches the light. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Shadow Coast at a window where its pale blue-grey tone can temper bright daylight without adding visual weight. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber and cool stone for a calm coastal scheme.

Use this cool, pale blue-grey sheer to bring softly filtered light and a quiet woven texture to windows.

Shadow Coast 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.
