About this fabric
This Lead colourway reads as a grounded charcoal grey with a cool, slightly muted cast, lifted by the tiny flecks and weave texture visible in the close-up. The plain design from the Paolo collection is made in 52% Polyester and 48% Cotton, giving it a practical woven handle that suits everyday interiors. With a Martindale rating of 40,000 and Heavy Domestic usage, it is well suited to hardworking upholstered pieces. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and should be professionally dry cleaned in situ in line with the pattern book guidance.
How to use it
Use Paolo Lead on sofas, dining chairs or banquettes where you want a restrained, architectural grey. It pairs especially well with pale oak, black metal and soft ivory accents for a crisp, contemporary scheme.
A quietly tailored grey that works beautifully on streamlined seating and layered neutrals.

Paolo Lead 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.
