CLAYTON Steel

Name: CLAYTON Steel
Brand: iliv

CLAYTON Steel is a quiet, steel-grey fabric with a fine woven surface and a softly matte finish. The colour sits in a cool, muted mid-tone that feels pared-back rather than shiny or stark.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, CLAYTON Steel has a plain appearance with no visible repeat, giving it an unfussy and versatile look. The 140cm usable width and General Domestic upholstery grade make it suitable for a wide range of interior projects, while the 20,000 martindale rub test supports everyday use. Its colour-fastness rating of 5 and treatable FR suitability for drapery and upholstery add practical value. Visually, the steel-grey shade reads cool and understated, with enough depth to soften bright schemes without turning brown or black.

How to use it

Use this muted steel tone to ground lighter linens, pale woods and crisp whites, or pair it with charcoal and graphite for a calm, tailored scheme. It works especially well on structured seating, relaxed curtains or coordinated soft furnishings.

A versatile steel grey that works cleanly across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

CLAYTON Steel 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.
