About this fabric

The stripe is formed from narrow white lines set against broad silvery-grey bands, creating a clean ticking effect with a measured, architectural rhythm. Fine crosswise slubs and subtle tonal variation are visible across the woven ground, gently catching the light. The cool grey remains quiet and restrained, while the white stripes add definition without becoming stark. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool silvery-grey colourway to bring tailored calm to a neutral sitting room, whether on a compact upholstered piece or full-length curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal to echo the stripe’s crisp, light-reflective character.

A cool silvery-grey ticking stripe for calm, tailored upholstery or softly structured curtains.

Veranda Ticking 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.
