About this fabric

The colour reads as soft white rather than creamy ivory, with a faint grey undertone that keeps it fresh and restrained. A closely woven, subtly grained surface gives the plain cloth gentle visual depth without introducing a motif or obvious pattern. The supplied record lists no composition, width, rub test or additional performance features for this colourway. Its light appearance makes it especially well suited to calm, tailored drapery schemes.

How to use it

Use Patina Snow for curtains in rooms with cool daylight, pairing it with pale grey, chalk and light timber to preserve its clean, airy character. Against warmer stone or natural oak, the slight coolness of the white will remain clearly defined.

A crisp, cool white plain weave for softly tailored curtains and light-filled interiors.

Patina Snow 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.
