About this fabric

The small-scale herringbone is clearly visible across the surface, creating a repeated chevron effect rather than a flat plain weave. Its nickel-grey tone sits on the cooler side of grey, while the tonal variation between threads gives the cloth depth without introducing a strong contrast. The close woven texture reads as substantial and upholstery-friendly from the swatch, with a neat finish suited to structured pieces.

How to use it

Pair this cool nickel grey with pale stone, crisp white or deep charcoal for a restrained scheme, or warm it with walnut and aged brass. Its subtle herringbone texture works particularly well on tailored chairs, ottomans and sofas.

Use this cool nickel-grey herringbone to bring tailored texture and subtle tonal depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Tristan Herringbone Nickel 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.
