Tilt Silvershell is a pale silvery-ivory textile with a cool grey cast and a finely textured surface. Its understated weave gives the light colour subtle depth rather than a stark, flat white appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch reads as a very pale silvery ivory, with a noticeably cooler tone than a warm cream. Fine diagonal lines run across the close surface, creating a restrained, almost herringbone-like texture. Alternating threads catch the light gently, adding soft tonal movement while keeping the overall effect quiet and refined. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Tilt Silvershell where its cool silvery-ivory tone can lift a room without introducing a strong contrast, such as on softly tailored seating or relaxed window treatments. It pairs naturally with chalk white, pale grey and light timber.

Pair its cool silvery-ivory tone with soft grey, chalk white and pale natural timber for a light, quietly layered scheme.

Pairs well with

Tilt Silvershell 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.
