Isla Steel shows a calm, cool grey tone with a softly pebbled woven texture and a matte, even finish. The close-up surface reads refined and understated rather than shiny or bold.

About this fabric

Woven in 71% polyester and 29% cotton, Isla Steel is supplied as a drapes-only fabric with a width of 140cm and a substantial 318gsm weight. The visible surface has a fine, all-over texture that gives the steel grey colour a gentle depth without obvious pattern contrast. Its cool, misted grey character feels clean and versatile, with just enough texture to catch the light softly across the cloth. With no rub test noted, it is best considered for curtains and decorative window treatments rather than upholstery.

How to use it

Use Isla Steel for tailored curtains, relaxed Roman blinds or layered sheers where a cool grey ground will sit quietly against pale timber, white walls and brushed metal finishes. The muted steel tone works especially well in modern, coastal or minimalist schemes.

A cool neutral that gives curtains a clean, tailored finish.

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.
