About this fabric

Papaia Grey appears as a warm grey softened with taupe, rather than a stark silver grey. Fine pale and darker threads form a close, softly gridded weave, with gentle vertical variation adding interest to the surface. The low-contrast texture gives the colour quiet depth, shifting between oatmeal, mushroom and grey as the light catches the threads. With no decorative motif visible beyond the weave itself, this colourway reads calm, tactile and composed.

How to use it

Pair Papaia Grey with chalky whites, mushroom upholstery and pale timber for a softly tonal room, or use its warm grey depth to temper cooler stone and blue-grey accents.

Use this warm taupe-grey weave to bring quiet texture to tailored upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Papaia 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.
