About this fabric

The swatch shows a substantial-looking woven texture made from closely packed, uneven yarns that create gentle raised movement across the cloth. Fine shifts between cool grey, warm grey and muted beige add depth while keeping the overall colour quiet and versatile. There is no composition, width or rub-test information supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use this cool grey marl on a generously shaped sofa, armchair or ottoman where its nubby surface can soften clean architectural lines. Pair it with pale timber, chalky walls and warm neutrals to draw out the subtle beige flecks in the weave.

A softly mottled grey texture for relaxed upholstery with quiet tonal depth.

Saxophone Linen 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.
