About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool, slightly softened grey rather than a deep charcoal. Its vertical layout alternates narrow bands of closely repeated diagonal marks with wider, plain-looking woven sections. A fine, grainy surface keeps the grey from appearing flat, while the diagonal bands catch the light as lighter threads. The overall effect is structured and understated, with more visual movement in the patterned bands than in the surrounding fields.

How to use it

Use this cool mid-grey on a tailored occasional chair, sofa or full-length curtain where its vertical bands can remain clearly visible. Pair it with pale timber and chalky neutrals for a calm scheme, or dark metal for sharper contrast.

Use the cool mid-grey with pale woods, chalky neutrals and dark accents to emphasise its vertical rhythm.

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.
