About this fabric

The colour reads as a balanced, cool mid-grey, with lighter and darker fibres creating a gently irregular marl effect across the surface. Narrow vertical stripes run consistently through the cloth, while the softly fibrous texture keeps the pattern from appearing stark or overly formal. The visible weave has a substantial, upholstery-friendly appearance rather than the fluid look of a fine curtain cloth. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool marl grey on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining seat where the fine vertical striping can sharpen the silhouette. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and deeper charcoal accents to echo the fabric’s quiet tonal contrast.

A cool, finely striped marl with enough visual texture to bring quiet definition to upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Cambridge Marl Fabric 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.
