About this fabric

Bohemian Steel from J Brown’s Bohemian collection is a plain fabric with a distinctly textured, woven face rather than a flat finish. The 100% polyester composition and 40,000 Martindale rating make it a practical choice for contract environments, while the back-coated cigarette and match fire rating to BS5852 adds specification confidence. In this colourway, the steel-grey ground reads cool and slightly misty, with lighter yarn highlights catching across the weave to stop the surface feeling one-note. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care guidance available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this soft blue-grey on clean-lined upholstery, banquettes or office seating where a restrained, modern finish is needed. It pairs well with black metal, pale oak and sharper accent colours because the tone stays calm without looking flat.

A cool, understated grey that works neatly on tailored seating and contract schemes.

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.
