M650 Silverbirch

Name: M650 Silverbirch
Brand: Mark Alexander

M650 Silverbirch is a pale, understated neutral with a close woven surface and a gentle ivory-grey cast. Fine tonal variation across the face keeps the plain cloth from appearing flat.

About this fabric

The image shows a compact plain weave built from very small, closely set threads, with subtle vertical variation and a lightly tactile finish. Its silverbirch tone sits between soft ivory and cool greige, reading airy in the highlights and slightly deeper where the weave catches the light. The even construction gives the cloth a versatile mid-weight appearance suited to either upholstery or drapery. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric, so project suitability should be checked against the intended use.

How to use it

Use Silverbirch to lighten a room without introducing stark white, pairing its quiet greige warmth with pale woods, chalky neutrals or restrained blue-grey accents. Its unobtrusive plain weave also works well as a calm foundation beside more patterned textiles.

Use this softly textured pale neutral to bring quiet lightness to seating, curtains or layered schemes.

M650 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.
