Tarni Steeple Grey

Tarni Steeple Grey has a pale, cool-grey ground marked by a dense irregular crosshatch of darker grey. The close-up reveals a tactile, woven-looking surface with subtle tonal variation rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The Steeple Grey colourway reads as light and quietly cool, with charcoal-grey flecks breaking up the pale base. Its small-scale marks form an uneven checked texture across the folded swatch, giving the surface visual depth without a strong directional motif. The textile is catalogued as fabric and no performance features are noted for this SKU. The substantial-looking weave makes it best suited to upholstery applications where its restrained texture can add interest to a clean silhouette.

How to use it

Use this pale cool grey on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat, pairing it with chalk, stone and charcoal tones to pick up the swatch’s softly contrasted weave.

Its pale cool-grey ground and charcoal flecking suit tailored upholstery with tonal neutrals.

Pairs well with

Tarni Steeple Grey 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.
