About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Melford Weaves collection has a usable width of 138.5 cm and a substantial 270 gsm weight, making it a practical mid-weight textile for interiors. The pattern repeat is only 1.6 cm horizontally with no vertical repeat, so the surface feels orderly and understated rather than busy. In this Dove Grey colourway, the weave sits in a gentle silvered grey with a slightly warmer undertone, and the tiny zigzag structure catches the light without looking shiny. It is a versatile cloth that suits both upholstery and drapery, especially where a neat, calm texture is needed.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored armchair, ottoman or dining seats for a clean grey foundation. It also works well as relaxed curtains, where the soft dove tone will keep a room feeling light and composed.

A calm, tailored grey that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains.

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.
