Driftwood
Mid-depth and confident — neither washed-out nor heavy. The natural home for Driftwood is boot-rooms and back halls — and increasingly snugs and reading rooms. Pairs naturally with travertine, brushed brass and aged leather. Driftwood sits in our High-end Paint range with an undertone with heat in it, undertones of weathered-wood, and a character that's mineral and soft. It reads coastal modern in spirit without locking the room into a single period.
Best used in hallway, living
Mineral and soft reads its best where the light is even and natural. Below are the rooms we've installed this shade in most often.
