Ballito Shingle

Name: Ballito Shingle
Brand: Zinc Textile

Ballito Shingle has a softly chalky pale-grey ground crossed by slender, irregular ivory lines. The restrained contrast gives the stripe a naturally relaxed, lightly weathered character.

About this fabric

Fine vertical lines travel across the surface with subtle wavering rather than rigidly straight edges, creating a hand-drawn feel. The warm grey base sits between stone and putty, while the lighter lines catch the eye as delicate breaks in the texture. Its visible mid-weight textile construction makes this colourway suitable for either upholstery or drapery. The understated pattern brings movement while keeping the overall impression calm and tonal.

How to use it

Use Ballito Shingle on relaxed curtains, blinds or a softly tailored chair where its warm pale-grey tone can soften stronger architectural lines. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted taupes to echo the swatch's gentle contrast.

Use its quiet warm-grey ground and fine ivory lines to add gentle vertical rhythm without overpowering a room.

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