Strand Silverbirch

Strand Silverbirch has a quiet, pale silvered-ivory appearance, with a fine horizontal texture that gives the surface gentle movement. Its light-looking handle and restrained tonal variation make it especially suited to drapery.

About this fabric

The colour sits between soft ivory and cool silver, with a subtly cloudy depth rather than a stark white finish. Fine horizontal slubs run across the surface, creating delicate lines that become more visible where the light catches the weave. The open, lightweight appearance reads naturally as a drapery cloth, allowing the texture to remain understated when hung.

How to use it

Use this cool silvered-ivory shade for calm, light-filtering curtains in rooms with white, pale grey or washed timber finishes. Its quiet horizontal texture can also soften a sharper contemporary scheme without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool, pale neutral with a fine horizontal texture, suited to softly filtered drapery and layered window treatments.

Pairs well with

Strand 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.
