About this fabric

This colourway reads as a restrained elephant grey, sitting between charcoal and pale stone with a gently cool cast. Its plain construction has no visible pattern repeat, while the fine woven texture catches the light in delicate shifts across the surface. At 235 gsm, it is a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery, without suggesting a heavy pile or bulky handle. The fabric has a 143 cm usable width, a 40 m standard length and 106 threads per centimetre.

How to use it

Use Elephant Grey to give a tailored sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain a composed, modern foundation. Its cool depth pairs naturally with chalky whites, pale timber, brushed metal and blue-grey accents.

A cool, understated grey plain weave that brings quiet structure to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Empower Plain Elephant 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.
