Zinc Willow

Name: Zinc Willow
Brand: Fryett's Fabrics

Zinc Willow has a dark, cool taupe-grey ground with a softly reflective finish that lifts the pattern as the light moves across it. The damask motif reads large and decorative, but the overall effect stays restrained and modern.

About this fabric

This colourway from Fryett's Fabrics' Glamour collection is a 100% polyester fabric, 140cm wide, with a 20cm pattern repeat and care instructions AQV8<. Visually it combines a smoky grey-brown base with pale metallic highlights, so the design feels shaded rather than brightly contrasted. The surface has a gentle sheen that catches on the folds, giving the woven damask look extra depth without making it look glossy. Its substantial appearance and smart tone make it a strong choice when you want pattern presence with a more muted, contemporary finish.

How to use it

Pair this cool taupe-grey with pared-back woods, black accents or textured neutrals to let the sheen and damask pattern do the work. It suits statement cushions, accent chairs and formal seating where the darker tone can anchor the scheme.

Use for tailored upholstery pieces where the subtle sheen can catch the light.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Zinc Willow without fighting it. 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.
