About this fabric

The design is arranged as a regular grid of small square panels, each containing a loosely drawn, circular scroll-like motif in a warm ivory or off-white thread. Against the lightish grey ground, the embroidery reads as gentle contrast rather than a bold graphic, with the raised thread catching the light unevenly across the swatch. At 336 gsm and 136 cm usable width, this is a substantial mid-weight textile suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its pattern repeats every 22.5 cm vertically and 22.7 cm horizontally, preserving the measured rhythm of the square layout across a larger length.

How to use it

Pair the cool pale grey with soft white, stone and bleached timber for an airy, quiet scheme, or use it on an occasional chair and coordinating Roman blind where the small scroll grid can be seen at close range.

Use this pale cool grey textile to bring a softly patterned, light-reflective finish to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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.
