About this fabric

The swatch shows a compact, small-scale chevron weave formed from charcoal, mid-grey and lighter steel-grey threads. The directional herringbone pattern gives the surface a tailored rhythm, while the interwoven yarns soften the contrast into a subtle marl effect. Its cool steel tone reads calm and architectural, with the lighter threads catching the eye across the textured face. The dense-looking woven construction makes it particularly suited to upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use this steel-grey colourway on a sofa, dining chair or headboard where its fine herringbone can add pattern without dominating the room. Pair it with chalky whites, blue-greys and brushed metal for a cool, quietly tailored scheme.

Use this cool steel-grey herringbone to bring tailored texture and quiet depth to upholstered seating.

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.
