Camden Steel Fr is a cool, steel-grey plain with a softly mottled surface that gives the colour real depth. The close weave reads calm and contemporary rather than flat, with just enough texture to catch the light.

About this fabric

This Camden colourway has a distinctly cool grey tone, softened by a fine, clouded texture that makes the surface feel gently layered rather than uniform. Made from 100% polyester, it is designed for heavy domestic use and offers a 40,000 Martindale rub test, making it a practical choice for busy interiors. The fabric is supplied back coated to cigarette & match to BS5852, and other treatments are available upon request. Its plain design style keeps the focus on the subtle steel shading, which sits neatly between charcoal and silver.

How to use it

Use this steel grey on a sofa or upholstered headboard for a sharp, tailored look, then warm it with natural wood, linen and brushed metal. It also works well in a pared-back scheme where you want depth without introducing pattern.

A restrained steel grey that works beautifully with pale oak, black accents and crisp white.

Pairs well with

Camden Steel Fr 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.
