About this fabric

The fabric reads as a balanced, cool grey, with lighter threads appearing intermittently across the ground to create a fine crosshatched effect. Close-up, the weave has a dry, tactile character and a restrained variation in tone, while the overall surface remains visually quiet. Its mid-weight appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool mid-grey as a calm foundation on an upholstered chair, sofa or simple curtain, pairing it with crisp whites, charcoal and pale timber. The softly textured weave also works well alongside smoother surfaces where its tonal variation can be appreciated.

A cool grey woven texture with understated depth for contemporary upholstery, curtains or coordinating soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Wareham colour 9 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.
