Veranda Ticking Carbon Grey

Name: Veranda Ticking Carbon Grey
Brand: Mark Alexander

This colourway pairs a pale, softly mottled ivory ground with sharply defined carbon-grey lines running vertically through the cloth. The fine surface texture gives the stripes a gently softened edge rather than a stark printed look.

About this fabric

Veranda Ticking Carbon Grey is shown as a narrow vertical stripe with an even, measured repeat across the fabric. Its carbon-grey lines read cool and deep against the light ivory ground, creating clear contrast without making the overall cloth feel heavy. A subtle woven grain runs through the pale background, adding quiet tonal variation as the light moves across the surface.

How to use it

Use this cool ivory-and-carbon-grey colourway for full-height curtains or relaxed Roman blinds, where the vertical ticking can emphasise height. Pair it with chalky walls, pale timber and charcoal accents for a clean, tailored scheme.

Use the cool carbon-grey ticking to bring crisp vertical definition to pale, softly layered curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Veranda Ticking Carbon Grey without fighting it. 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.
