About this fabric

The swatch shows a plain charcoal-grey weave with a muted, matte appearance and very subtle tonal movement in the surface. At 300 gsm and 144 cm usable width, this mid-weight fabric is suited to both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeat is 0 cm vertically and horizontally, so there is no motif to align when cutting. In changing light, the cool grey depth shifts gently between slate and charcoal while retaining its understated texture.

How to use it

Pair this cool charcoal-grey colourway with pale stone, chalky white or warm timber for a restrained contemporary room. It can also add quiet depth to a layered grey scheme without introducing a visible pattern.

Use this cool charcoal-grey plain weave to bring a calm, tailored depth to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

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.
