About this fabric

This colourway sits between warm grey and softened beige, with a faint blush that keeps the shade from feeling stark or cold. Its even, low-contrast surface has no visible motif, allowing the subtle thread texture and gentle tonal variation to carry the design. As part of Mark Alexander’s Timeless Wool Sheers collection, it is suited to the light, fluid character expected of sheer drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Vapour Beech for curtains where its pale pink-greige tone can soften daylight without introducing a strong colour statement. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, warm stone and lightly weathered timber.

A softly muted pink-greige for quiet curtains and light-filled, understated rooms.

Pairs well with

Vapour Beech 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.
