Shift Storm

Name: Shift Storm
Brand: Kirkby Design

Shift Storm has a cool storm-grey ground animated by tightly packed pale and charcoal marks. Its close-up surface reads as a subtle geometric texture rather than a flat plain.

About this fabric

The fabric image shows a compact, small-scale weave made from repeated stepped and interlocking marks. Mid-grey, charcoal and lighter grey threads create a softly irregular pattern, giving the surface depth without a strong directional motif. The overall effect is cool, grounded and quietly graphic, with the lighter threads catching across the face of the cloth.

How to use it

Use this storm-grey colourway on a structured armchair, sofa or dining seat where its fine graphic texture can add depth without dominating the room. Pair it with chalky greys, blackened timber and cool blue accents for a restrained, contemporary scheme.

A dense, cool-toned woven texture for tailored upholstery with subtle graphic depth.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Shift Storm without fighting it. 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.
