About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense, fine-scale weave made up of closely crossing yarns, creating a subtle flecked effect rather than a printed motif. Its warm grey-beige tone has a quiet depth, with slightly darker threads adding definition across the surface. The texture reads as tactile and suitably robust for upholstered furniture. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm greige colourway to upholster a sofa, armchair or dining chair where its muted taupe depth can soften stronger wood tones and patterned furnishings. Pair it with chalky neutrals, natural timber and muted olive accents.

A softly mottled greige weave that brings quiet texture to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Sherborne 2 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.
