About this fabric

This grey colourway shifts gently between light stone-grey and deeper graphite flecks, giving the cloth subtle depth without a strong pattern. Its small-scale, irregular weave creates a softly nubby surface that catches the light unevenly. The visible construction reads as a versatile mid-weight textile for both upholstery and drapery. It is catalogued as a Fabric, with no performance features or further specification data supplied.

How to use it

Use Cygnet to bring a cool, quietly layered grey to an upholstered chair, sofa or relaxed curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and darker charcoal accents. Its mottled surface helps soften a scheme without introducing a pronounced motif.

A softly mottled grey with a tactile, irregular weave that suits relaxed upholstery and understated window treatments.

Tayside Cygnet 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.
