Veranda Stri Driftwood

Name: Veranda Stri Driftwood
Brand: Mark Alexander

Veranda Stri Driftwood has a softly weathered taupe-grey ground, crossed by tightly packed vertical striations that give the surface a quietly tailored rhythm. The close-up view reveals subtle tonal variation within the weave rather than a flat, uniform colour.

About this fabric

Fine, closely spaced lines run vertically across the face of the fabric, creating a narrow stripe effect with a calm, architectural quality. The Driftwood colour sits between warm grey and muted brown, with a softened, mineral depth that avoids looking stark or cold. Small flecks of lighter and darker yarn are visible through the woven surface, adding understated texture as the light moves across it. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this subdued taupe-grey with pale oak, chalky walls and warm off-whites for a restrained interior, or use it to temper darker timber and charcoal accents. Its fine vertical striping will give upholstered seating a neat, elongated appearance.

Use this weathered taupe-grey stripe to bring quiet texture and tailored structure to seating in neutral or timber-led rooms.

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.
