Grain Gris
Grain Fabric
Grain Gris is a muted grey-taupe fabric with a softly clouded surface and barely-there organic movement. Its cool, understated tone reads calm and versatile in the close-up swatch.

About this fabric
The surface combines warm taupe undertones with a restrained grey cast, creating a softened neutral rather than a stark silver grey. Fine irregular markings drift across the cloth in low contrast, giving the plain-looking ground a gentle, natural grain. The dense, tactile appearance makes this fabric particularly convincing for upholstery, where its quiet texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern.
How to use it
Use Grain Gris on a sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard alongside chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal. Its softened grey-taupe tone also works well with putty, stone and other warm neutrals.
A quiet grey-taupe upholstery cloth that brings subtle movement and tactile softness to contemporary seating.

Pairs well with
Grain 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.
