About this fabric

The colour reads as a softened grey rather than a stark silver, with faint warm-grey and khaki nuances across the surface. Fine vertical and horizontal threads create a lightly mottled woven texture, while the plain design keeps the appearance clean and understated. This colourway is catalogued as Fabric; no composition, width, performance feature or rub-test data has been supplied.

How to use it

Use Chelsea Gris to bring a calm, lightly warm grey note to a room, pairing its restrained woven surface with deeper charcoal, natural timber or softened off-whites. It is suited to upholstery or window treatments where the texture should remain subtle rather than decorative.

Use this softly muted grey on seating, blinds or curtains where a quiet woven texture is wanted.

Pairs well with

Chelsea Gris 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.
