Name: Skyline Dove

Skyline Dove has a pale, cool dove-grey ground with fine horizontal striations running across the surface. Its softly varied weave gives the colour gentle depth while keeping the overall impression light and understated.

About this fabric

The surface is formed by closely spaced, uneven horizontal lines in subtly different grey tones, creating a tactile woven effect rather than a printed motif. Light catches the raised threads in small shifts, so the dove-grey colour appears softly mottled instead of flat. The restrained pattern scale makes this a calm choice where a plain fabric would benefit from quiet texture. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Skyline Dove to upholster a contemporary or softly tailored chair, or let its cool pale grey tone filter through relaxed curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, silvered woods and deeper charcoal accents to bring out the weave’s tonal variation.

A pale dove-grey woven texture that brings subtle horizontal movement to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Skyline 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.
