About this fabric

The pale ground keeps this colourway luminous, while the grey artwork gives the design gentle definition without becoming stark. The pattern combines feathery fronds, slender stems, small berries and loosely drawn blooms across the visible surface. Its cool ivory-and-grey palette reads delicate and quietly atmospheric, with the intricate marks softened rather than sharply contrasted. No additional composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Kerala Dove for curtains in a light-filled bedroom, sitting room or quiet reading space, where its cool ivory ground can sit alongside chalky whites, pale grey and weathered timber. Echo the dove-grey detailing with unpatterned cushions or painted furniture rather than introducing a stronger accent.

A pale, quietly detailed botanical suitable for airy curtains and softly refined interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kerala Dove without fighting it. 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.
