About this fabric

The swatch shows a cool dove grey made up of closely woven threads, with delicate horizontal and vertical variation creating a subtle crosshatched effect. Rather than a distinct motif, the surface relies on tiny tonal changes and a restrained, low-sheen finish for visual depth. The fine texture keeps the colour from appearing flat while preserving its soft, muted appearance. No performance features are noted for this catalogued Fabric.

How to use it

Use Veranda Dove to soften a contemporary room where its cool grey tone can sit alongside chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal. Its quiet woven texture also suits relaxed upholstery and uncomplicated curtains without adding visual weight.

A cool, finely woven grey for calm upholstery, cushions, blinds or softly tailored curtains.

Veranda 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.
