Misc Fabric

Nest Storm is a cool storm-grey textile covered in a tightly repeated batik-style geometric grid. Pale broken marks interrupt the darker ground, giving the small-scale design a softly weathered, tactile appearance.

About this fabric

The colourway combines a muted blue-grey ground with lighter grey and chalky flecks, creating depth without strong contrast. Its close, linen-like surface and irregular printed-looking marks soften the precision of the repeating squares and linear motifs. The even cloth texture makes it read as a versatile option for upholstery or drapery, although no performance features or further specification data are supplied. In changing light, the pale marks lift across the storm-grey background while the dense pattern retains a calm, tailored feel.

How to use it

Pair this cool storm-grey with pale oak, chalk white and brushed metal for a quiet contemporary room. It also works well on a tailored occasional chair or softly gathered curtain where the fine grid can be seen at close range.

Use the cool storm-grey ground to bring quiet structure to upholstery, cushions or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Nest Storm Fabric | Batik Linen Fabric 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.
