About this fabric

From the Melford Weaves collection by Sanderson, this fabric is a practical 220gsm textile with a usable width of 139 cm and a standard length of 30 m. The weave is closely textured, with a small, even grid that catches the light and gives the pale grey ground a subtle depth. With no vertical or horizontal repeat, the cloth reads as a clean plain from a distance but shows plenty of woven character up close. Helena Mineral has a cool, muted tone that sits between silver and stone, making it feel fresh, restrained and easy to place.

How to use it

Use this mineral grey to soften a clean-lined sofa, dining chairs or simple curtains where you want texture without pattern. It pairs naturally with white, charcoals and pale woods, and the cool cast keeps a room feeling airy.

A cool, understated neutral that works cleanly on both tailored upholstery and relaxed drapery.

Pairs well with

Helena Mineral 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.
