Sijo Silverbirch

Sijo Silverbirch appears as a pale, cool silvery ivory, with a fine translucent surface and delicate vertical folds visible across the swatch. Its understated tone is softened by subtle slub-like texture rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued within Mark Alexander’s Timeless Linen Sheers collection and reads visually as a lightweight drapery cloth. The silvery-ivory ground has a cool, almost misted quality, while the fine weave creates gentle shifts between brighter and slightly shaded lines. Soft folds reveal the fabric’s fluid fall and allow the texture to catch the light without becoming glossy. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Sijo Silverbirch for full-length curtains in a calm, light-toned room, where its cool ivory shade can sit beside pale grey, chalk, birch wood or brushed metal. Its translucent appearance is especially suited to windows where diffused daylight is part of the scheme.

A cool, softly textured sheer for understated curtains that let natural light remain part of the room.

Pairs well with

Sijo Silverbirch 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.
