About this fabric

The colour reads as a slate-like grey with a muted blue-green cast, rather than a warm or flat neutral. Fine intersecting threads create a small-scale crosshatch texture, giving the surface softly irregular tonal depth as light catches it. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature is supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed separately. The overall effect is quiet and smart, with texture providing interest without introducing a visible motif.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair, where its seal depth can anchor pale stone, chalk and soft blue accents. It can also temper brighter rooms as a restrained curtain or blind cloth.

Its cool blue-grey depth and fine woven texture bring quiet definition to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

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.
