About this fabric

The fine grey-and-white weave creates a restrained geometric texture, with the pale ground reading softly cool rather than warm or beige. Across the folds, the tiny chevrons catch the light gently, giving the surface depth while keeping the overall colourway calm and understated. The cloth appears to be a versatile mid-weight woven, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool storm-grey colourway to temper warmer timber, stone and muted blue furnishings, or choose it for curtains where its fine woven pattern will add texture without becoming a dominant motif.

A finely textured storm-grey weave that brings quiet pattern and cool tonal depth to upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Birds Foot Storm without fighting it. 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.
