Great Egrets Silk is a luminous sheer with graceful bird motifs drifting across a pale, softly mottled ground. The cream background and watery sage notes give it an airy, layered look that feels light rather than stark.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a usable width of 143 cm and a vertical repeat of 95 cm with a horizontal repeat of 67.5 cm, so the egrets have room to make a generous, floating statement. At 102 gsm and with 74 threads per cm, it reads as a fine, translucent cloth rather than a dense decorative weave. In this colourway, the ground is a warm soft cream with a whisper of green, while the birds are traced in gentle taupe and muted olive outlines. The overall effect is calm and refined, with the pale tones allowing the motif to sit lightly on the surface and catch daylight elegantly.

How to use it

Hang it at a window where natural light can bring out the soft sage wash and the delicate outline of the birds. It works especially well in relaxed, layered interiors with pale timber, limestone, or muted painted finishes.

Use it for airy curtains where the pale ground and painterly green tones can soften a room beautifully.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Great Egrets Silk 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.
