Cord Fr Crib 5 Silver Grey

Name: Cord Fr Crib 5 Silver Grey

About this fabric

This colourway sits between pale grey and gentle greige, avoiding the blue cast of a cooler silver while retaining a clean, contemporary appearance. Narrow raised ribs create a precise vertical texture, with the darker channels adding quiet definition against the lighter cord faces. The structured surface reads as tailored rather than plush, making the fabric particularly suited to upholstered forms where its linear relief can remain visible.

How to use it

Use the warm silver-grey on a buttoned chair, streamlined sofa or dining seat, pairing it with chalky walls, pale oak and softly contrasting charcoal accents. Its muted tone can also temper stronger patterned cushions without competing with them.

Its pale warm-grey tone and disciplined vertical cord make it an easy partner for tailored upholstery.

Cord Fr Crib 5 Silver 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.
