Town Harbour is a pale, cool grey plain weave with a softly textured surface. Its restrained tone reads clean and airy in the swatch, while the subtle woven grain prevents it from appearing flat.

About this fabric

The colour has a gentle blue-grey cast, giving this colourway a cooler and more contemporary feel than a warm stone or taupe neutral. A fine, close weave creates delicate vertical and horizontal variation across the surface, visible as a quiet crosshatch under the light. The even construction and lack of a visible motif make the cloth suitable for applications where a calm, continuous ground is wanted. The supplied record identifies Town Harbour as a fabric and notes that no performance features have been specified.

How to use it

Use this pale cool-grey on a tailored chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its soft texture can add depth without introducing pattern. Pair it with crisp whites, pale timber and blue-grey accents for a fresh, composed scheme.

A pale cool-grey plain weave that brings a clean, quietly textured finish to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Town Harbour 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.
