About this fabric

This colourway has a soft hessian-grey cast, with pale silvery highs and slightly deeper taupe-grey movement caught across the weave. The plain design keeps the look understated, while the surface texture gives it the dry, natural feel shown in the swatch. Made from 100% polyester, it is rated for Heavy Domestic use and achieves a 40,000 Martindale, making it a practical choice for everyday seating. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and should be professionally dry cleaned in situ as per the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this muted grey on a tailored sofa, banquette or dining chair where the subtle texture can soften clean lines. It sits comfortably with oak, brushed metal and deeper charcoal or ink accents.

A quiet, versatile neutral that layers easily with timber, stone and deeper accent tones.

Pairs well with

Mimosa Hessian 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.
