Ice Storm

Name: Ice Storm
Brand: Kirkby Design

Ice Storm is a quiet, cool grey textile with a softly mottled surface and barely perceptible woven grain. Its blue-grey cast gives the plain colourway a calm, atmospheric depth rather than a flat neutral appearance.

About this fabric

The surface reads as a near-solid grey, with fine tonal shifts that become more visible across the swatch and add understated texture. A faint linear grain catches the light without forming a noticeable motif, keeping the design clean and versatile. The cool, slightly blue undertone gives Ice Storm a crisp yet softened character, well suited to schemes built around stone, chalk, charcoal or pale timber.

How to use it

Use Ice Storm to upholster a clean-lined chair or sofa where its cool blue-grey tone can anchor warmer wood and ivory textiles. It also lends itself to simple curtains or blinds when a room needs quiet depth without a strong pattern.

A composed cool grey for tailored upholstery, relaxed curtains and softly layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Ice Storm 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.
