About this fabric

The Silverbirch colourway sits between cool light grey and softened silver, with fine tonal variation visible across the woven surface. A compact grid of horizontal and vertical threads creates the characteristic hopsack texture, while the low contrast keeps the overall effect calm and plain from a short distance. Subtle changes in the weave catch the light rather than producing shine, giving this fabric a quietly tactile appearance. The even structure makes it a versatile choice wherever a restrained grey textile is needed.

How to use it

Use Silverbirch to lighten a tailored chair, sofa or window treatment while retaining texture through its cool silver-grey tone. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and deeper charcoal accents for a crisp, layered interior.

A pale, finely textured neutral that brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and layered schemes.

Veranda Hopsack Silverbirch 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.
