About this fabric

Olavi Turtle Dove is shown here as a pale greige textile, sitting between soft grey and a restrained beige. The close-up reveals a fine, pebbled weave made from tiny pale and darker flecks, giving the otherwise quiet surface gentle depth rather than a printed motif. That cool, softened tonal balance keeps the colour calm and understated, while the irregular yarn texture prevents it from looking flat. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use this soft grey-beige colourway to upholster seating in rooms where a light neutral is wanted without a stark white effect. Its finely textured surface works especially well alongside warm timber, chalky painted finishes and muted stone tones.

A calm soft-grey base with a fine nubby weave that adds quiet surface depth to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Olavi Turtle Dove 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.
