About this fabric

The colour sits between cool grey and soft taupe, with a subdued, powdery appearance in the photographed light. Closely spaced horizontal lines create a restrained strié effect, while small tonal shifts keep the surface visually active. Its dense woven appearance makes this colourway particularly suited to upholstered pieces where a quiet texture is preferred. The low-contrast pattern remains understated enough to work as a calm foundation for more expressive furnishings.

How to use it

Use this dove-grey colourway on a contemporary sofa, headboard or occasional chair, pairing it with warm timber, chalky neutrals and brushed metal. Its faint taupe cast can soften a cooler grey scheme without introducing a strong accent colour.

A restrained dove-grey upholstery weave for calm, tonal furniture schemes.

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.
