About this fabric

This colourway reads as a mid-to-dark Swedish grey, with a restrained coolness that keeps the overall effect composed rather than stark. Fine vertical and horizontal yarn lines form a close, even weave, while slight tonal variation prevents the surface from looking completely flat. The subtle texture is visible across the full swatch and gives the fabric a smart, quietly tactile character. Its versatile mid-weight appearance suits both upholstery and drapery where a low-contrast grey finish is required.

How to use it

Pair this cool Swedish grey with pale stone, crisp white or charcoal for a layered neutral scheme. It works particularly well on tailored seating, simple cushions or softly folded curtains where its fine weave can remain visible.

Use this cool grey woven texture to bring a calm, tailored finish to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Swedish 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.
