About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Andrew Martin’s Misc collection, this colourway is woven in a subdued grey-taupe that sits between warm brown and cool grey. Fine vertical and horizontal threads create a delicate crosshatch effect across the face, while the surface catches the light with a restrained satin-like glow. The even, patternless construction keeps the design calm and architectural, allowing the depth of the Thunder shade to do the visual work. No performance features have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep grey-taupe colourway on softly tailored upholstery or full-length curtains where its subtle sheen can shift gently with the light. It works especially well beside chalky stone, smoked oak, espresso brown and brushed metal.

Pair this deep grey-taupe weave with warm neutrals, charcoal and aged timber for a quietly polished scheme.

Pairs well with

Columbus Thunder Satin 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.
