Crush Fr Easyclean Whale

Crush Fr Easyclean Whale is a deep, cool charcoal grey with a cloudy surface that gives the plain textile subtle tonal depth. Its softly brushed appearance keeps the shade from reading as flat black.

About this fabric

The image shows a nearly patternless upholstery fabric in a dense whale-grey tone, with darker and lighter patches dispersed across the surface. A gentle, suede-like nap catches the light unevenly, creating a muted mineral effect rather than a crisp sheen. This restrained colourway has a smart, contemporary character and should sit comfortably with both pale neutrals and stronger black accents. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool whale-grey on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its softly varied surface can add depth without introducing a visible pattern. Balance the dark tone with ivory, oak or brushed brass elsewhere in the room.

Pair this deep, cool grey with pale timber, blackened metal or warm neutrals for a quietly tailored interior.

Pairs well with

Crush Fr Easyclean Whale 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.
