Melford Silver

Name: Melford Silver
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0338-07

Melford Silver shows a calm, pale silver-grey ground with a fine herringbone-like woven effect that gives the surface a tailored, understated rhythm. The tone feels cool and airy, with just enough contrast in the weave to add depth.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Melford Weaves collection has a neat, small-scale woven pattern that reads as a subtle herringbone/check from a distance and a crisp chevron texture up close. The 138.5 cm usable width makes it practical for a range of interior projects, while the 270gsm weight places it firmly in a versatile mid-weight category. The 1.6 cm horizontal repeat and 0 cm vertical repeat keep the design orderly and easy to plan around. In this colourway, the silver finish is soft rather than metallic, giving the cloth a cool, slightly chalky brightness that lifts the weave without looking harsh.

How to use it

Use Melford Silver where you want a light, tailored neutral that still has surface interest. It pairs especially well with pale oak, black accents, and blue-grey upholstery for a crisp contemporary scheme.

A cool, quietly reflective silver that works beautifully as a tailored neutral.

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.
