About this fabric

The close-up shows a fine, closely textured surface rather than a bold motif, with tiny tonal variations that keep the grey from appearing flat. Its warm grey tone has a quiet, softened quality, while the folded areas deepen into charcoal-grey shadows. The fabric appears light and fluid in the swatch, making it particularly well suited to softly gathered drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Melody Shell for full-length curtains in rooms with warm white, stone or pale timber finishes, where its soft warm-grey tone can balance brighter surfaces. Its fluid folds would suit a relaxed heading or generous puddling for an understated, textural look.

Use this softly heathered warm grey for relaxed curtains that bring gentle movement and quiet depth to a room.

Pairs well with

Melody Shell 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.
