About this fabric

This plain textile combines a soft grey base with minute blue-grey tonal variation across the weave. Its closely packed threads create a delicate, almost linen-like texture that catches the light without becoming prominent. The supplied specification lists no performance features for this colourway, so its suitability should be considered in relation to the intended application.

How to use it

Use Patina Dove to cool a neutral room, pairing its blue-grey tone with chalk white, pale timber and softly weathered finishes. Its fine texture also works well beside smoother fabrics where a quiet woven contrast is needed.

A cool dove-grey plain weave that brings quiet definition to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Patina Dove 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.
