About this fabric

The colour reads as a light silver grey, with a cool neutrality that stays softer than stark white. Fine vertical fibres and slightly varied tonal lines create a restrained woven texture rather than a distinct motif. The even, understated face makes this fabric versatile for upholstery or drapery, particularly where a calm grey surface is wanted. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Motion Silver Grey with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal for a cool, airy interior, or use it to soften darker charcoal and blue-grey accents. Its subtle vertical texture adds quiet depth without introducing a strong pattern.

Use its cool silver-grey tone to bring quiet definition to upholstered seating, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Motion Silver Grey 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.
