Sloane Steel

Name: Sloane Steel
Brand: Isle Mill

Sloane Steel has a cool steel-grey appearance with a softly mottled surface visible across the close-up swatch. Its compact weave gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The fabric is woven in a restrained steel-grey shade, with fine greige and darker threads creating a lightly flecked, tactile surface. A subtle diagonal movement in the weave can be seen under the changing light, although there is no distinct printed motif. The dense-looking construction makes this colourway read as suited to upholstery. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed separately.

How to use it

Use Sloane Steel on a tailored sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its cool grey tone can anchor warmer timber, ivory and muted blue accents. The softly varied weave will add texture without introducing a strong pattern.

The cool steel-grey tone and fine woven texture bring quiet definition to contemporary upholstery.

Pairs well with

Sloane 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.
