About this fabric

The image shows a restrained grey-green shade that reads cool and muted, with a slightly softened appearance rather than a crisp silver grey. A fine vertical-and-horizontal weave creates delicate tonal flecks across the surface, while the low-contrast construction keeps the overall look understated. This is catalogued as a fabric, with no further composition, width or performance specifications supplied. The even surface and quiet colour make the texture more noticeable at close range than from a distance.

How to use it

Use Motion Gris to temper rooms with pale timber, chalky whites or warm stone, where its soft green undertone can add freshness without becoming a strong colour statement. Its subtle woven texture also suits relaxed upholstered seating or simple full-length curtains.

A quiet grey-green woven texture that brings gentle depth to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Motion 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.
