Gunmetal

Hampstead Carpet

Gunmetal presents as a cool, mid-to-dark grey with a subtle taupe cast, giving the surface a softened charcoal impression rather than a flat black. Its tightly textured face creates gentle tonal variation across the swatch.

About this fabric

This Hampstead colourway is catalogued as Carpet in the Wool Twist category. The image shows a dense, compact surface made up of closely packed twisted fibres, with fine flecks of grey and muted taupe visible throughout. Those small tonal shifts prevent the gunmetal shade from looking severe, while the short textured pile gives it a substantial, hard-wearing visual character. The understated surface is plain at a distance but richly tactile when viewed close up.

How to use it

Pair this cool gunmetal grey with pale oak, chalky neutrals or brushed metal for a restrained contemporary scheme. Its softly mottled depth also works well on tailored upholstery where a plain charcoal would feel too stark.

Use this cool, finely mottled gunmetal shade to bring tailored depth and tactile texture to upholstery.

Gunmetal 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.
