About this fabric

The background reads as a soft, cool grey with a fine woven texture visible beneath the print. Ivory leaves overlap across the surface, while the dark blue-charcoal stems add crisp definition and branching movement. Several leaves contain mottled grey shading, giving the otherwise pale colourway a gently painted, organic depth. The overall effect is composed and quietly graphic rather than bright or high-contrast.

How to use it

Use this cool dove-grey colourway to soften a blue-grey, ivory or stone scheme, particularly on a relaxed armchair, headboard or full-length curtains. Pair it with deeper charcoal-blue accents to draw out the branching stems without overwhelming the pale ground.

A cool dove-grey botanical that brings quiet contrast to both tailored upholstery and softly hung window treatments.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sumba Turtle Dove 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.
