Lava FR Natural

Shimmer FR Fabric

Lava FR Natural has a cool silver-grey ground with a softly glowing metallic veining that catches the light without looking busy. The effect is pale, textured and quietly lustrous.

About this fabric

This fabric has a 140cm width and a repeating abstract pattern measured at 35.5cm vertical and 36cm horizontal, giving the design a pronounced but orderly movement across the cloth. The visible ground reads as a soft natural silver-grey, while the thin gold-toned streaks and flickers from the lurex add a gentle shimmer rather than a strong contrast. Made from 93% polyester and 7% lurex, it has the practical makeup of a decorative fabric with a refined metallic finish. The overall look is cool, airy and slightly opulent, with the light catching the surface in an understated way.

How to use it

Pair this pale metallic neutral with chalky woods, glass and brushed brass for a calm, contemporary scheme. It also works well as a brightening drapery or statement upholstered accent where you want subtle sparkle.

Use where you want a pale, shimmering neutral with an elegant metallic lift.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lava FR Natural 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.
