About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and soft brown, with a pumice-like neutrality rather than a crisp or cool grey cast. Fine tonal variation moves across the surface, creating a low-contrast, slightly weathered effect without a distinct motif. The compact texture gives the fabric a considered, quietly tailored appearance suited to upholstered forms. In changing light, the subtle shifts in the taupe-grey ground help prevent the plain design from looking flat.

How to use it

Use Faze Pumice on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its warm taupe-grey tone can soften darker timber and balance creamy, stone or charcoal furnishings. Keep surrounding patterns restrained so the fabric’s fine tonal variation remains visible.

A quietly textured taupe-grey upholstery fabric that brings depth without introducing a visible pattern.

Pairs well with

Faze Pumice 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.
