About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Melody Optic has the fine, flexible look of a cloth intended to fall softly rather than form a structured upholstery surface. Its optic white tone reads cool and exceptionally clean, while the folds introduce subtle grey depth where the light recedes. A fine, lightly textured weave is visible across the flatter areas of the swatch, giving the plain colour a quiet surface interest. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Melody Optic for relaxed, full-length curtains where its cool white tone can soften daylight without adding a strong colour statement. Pair it with pale grey, silvered timber or crisp neutral furnishings for a bright, restrained scheme.

A cool, clean optic white with a fluid handle, suited to softly gathered curtains and light-filled windows.

Melody Optic 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.
