About this fabric
Emile Grey from the Emile II collection by Jane Churchill is a plain fabric with a restrained, even look and no visible repeat. The 50% cotton and 50% polyester composition gives it a clean, balanced handle that suits a wide range of interiors, while the 140cm approximate width makes it practical for everyday making-up. Its colour sits between grey and taupe, with a warm, dusty depth that softens the overall effect rather than reading stark or cool. The surface appears fine and smooth in the image, so it feels more refined than rustic, and the C 8 + T 3 care code plus fire code K add useful technical reassurance.
How to use it
Use this soft grey taupe as a grounding neutral on a sofa, bench or headboard where you want quiet warmth rather than bright contrast. It also works well with pale oak, chalky whites and deeper charcoal accents for a measured, contemporary scheme.
A quietly versatile neutral that layers easily with wood, stone and muted colour.

Pairs well with
Emile 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.
