About this fabric

The colour reads as a pale pearl grey with a slightly cool cast, softened by the small variations created by the woven yarns. Its compact hopsack structure is clearly visible across the swatch, forming a restrained crosshatched texture rather than a flat, printed surface. Light catches the raised weave gently, adding tonal movement while keeping the overall effect calm and even. The substantial-looking woven handle makes this colourway particularly well suited to upholstery-led schemes.

How to use it

Use the cool pearl-grey tone to upholster a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat, pairing it with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal for a clean, composed room. Add warmer stone or taupe accents if you want to soften the grey’s cooler edge.

A cool pearl-grey hopsack weave that brings quiet texture and tailored definition to upholstered seating.

Hopsack Pearl 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.
