About this fabric

Viewed up close, the fabric shows a tiny regular weave with faint sandy and grey-beige flecks dispersed through the light ground. The restrained tonal variation gives the surface more depth than a flat ivory, while keeping the overall impression airy and calm. As a catalogued Fabric from the Ventus Sheers collection, it reads as a fine window textile rather than a heavy upholstery cloth. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Hang Conch Shingle as full-length curtains where its warm oyster tone can temper bright daylight without making the room feel dark. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and natural stone for a soft, coastal-neutral scheme.

Use this pale oyster cream sheer to soften daylight and bring a quiet, lightly textured finish to windows.

Conch Shingle 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.
