About this fabric

This colourway has a cool, muted grey ground with a lightly mottled finish that softens the weave and gives it a dry, upholstered look. The surface texture is small and regular, with the tiny flecks of lighter and darker yarn adding depth without a strong contrast. At 138cm approx wide, and woven from 64% Polyester, 32% Viscose and 4% Cotton, it has a practical mixed-fibre make-up suited to everyday use. The repeat is listed as V 0cm / H 0cm approx, which supports its calm, non-directional appearance. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code K are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Its soft cement grey sits easily with charcoal, chalk white and warm timber, making it a strong choice for a tailored sofa or armchair. Use it where you want texture and restraint rather than colour, especially in contemporary or understated classic schemes.

A calm neutral that works beautifully with pale woods, black accents, and layered linens.

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.
