About this fabric

The design is formed from repeated vertical, undulating bands, with oatmeal threads interrupting the slate-grey ground in an even rhythmic sequence. Its close weave has a visibly nubby, textured finish, while the restrained grey-and-oatmeal contrast keeps the pattern composed rather than high-impact. The cool base tone gives this colourway a calm, architectural feel, with the lighter waves adding warmth and definition. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool slate-grey colourway on a structured sofa, dining chair or occasional seat, then echo the oatmeal wave tones with warm ivory, natural timber and softly textured neutrals.

The dense woven texture and measured vertical wave motif suit tailored upholstery in contemporary or quietly classic rooms.

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.
