About this fabric

This Palermo colourway reads as a balanced mid-grey with a subtle marl effect, so the weave feels understated rather than flat. The surface has a fine, neatly worked texture that catches the light with a soft, almost chalky variation across the cloth. Made from 100% polyester and suitable for general domestic use, it offers a 25,000 martindale rating for everyday interiors. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request, and can be machine washed at 30 degrees or professionally dry cleaned in situ.

How to use it

Use Palermo Grey on a pair of armchairs, a smart banquette or tailored curtains where the cool neutral tone can sharpen warmer woods and brass. Its muted depth also works well as a calm backdrop for tonal greys, inky blues and natural linens.

A clean, versatile grey that layers easily into tailored schemes.

Pairs well with

Palermo Grey 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.
