Profile Soft Grey

Profile Fabric

Profile Soft Grey has a quiet, cool grey appearance with a finely textured woven surface. Its subtle tonal variation gives the plain-looking colourway gentle depth rather than a flat, solid finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a compact, fine weave in soft grey, with tiny lighter and darker threads creating a restrained, softly mottled effect. The cool tone feels clean and understated, while the close texture adds a little tactile character without introducing a visible pattern. Its dense woven appearance makes it a natural visual choice for upholstery, particularly where a calm, tailored finish is wanted. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so intended use should be considered alongside the requirements of the project.

How to use it

Use this cool soft grey on a neatly upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, then warm the scheme with oak, taupe, oatmeal and aged brass. Its subtle weave also works well alongside stronger textures such as boucle, brushed wool or natural linen.

Pair this cool, softly mottled grey with pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal for a calm, contemporary scheme.

Pairs well with

Profile Soft 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.
