About this fabric

The aluminium-grey shade reads pale and neutral-cool, with a subtle depth that shifts gently across the nap in the light. A fine, even surface texture gives the swatch its suede-like character while keeping the overall appearance restrained and smooth. It is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this cool aluminium grey on a clean-lined sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its soft surface can temper darker charcoal, crisp white or pale timber. Its understated tone also suits layered monochrome rooms without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool, softly textured grey for tailored upholstery and calm contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Ii Aluminium 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.
