About this fabric

This colourway reads as a restrained slate grey, with a subtle coolness that keeps the tone feeling crisp rather than warm or taupe. Fine intersecting yarns create a lightly irregular crosshatch across the surface, catching the light just enough to prevent the grey from appearing flat. The understated construction makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery, subject to the requirements of the intended project. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair Sahara Iii Slate with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal for a cool, contemporary room, or use it to steady deeper charcoal and blue accents. Its softly textured grey surface works particularly well on clean-lined seating and relaxed window treatments.

Use this cool slate grey as a calm, versatile foundation for contemporary upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Slate 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.
