About this fabric

The image shows a soft grey with a subtle beige cast rather than a stark, cool silver tone. A fine, low-contrast mottling moves across the surface, while the even finish keeps the colour visually composed. This textile is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features or further specification data supplied. Its restrained texture makes the shade read as polished without appearing glossy or highly formal.

How to use it

Use Smooth Gris to bring a softened grey foundation to seating, curtains or layered neutral interiors. Its taupe undertone pairs naturally with warm whites, stone, mushroom and pale timber, while the smooth surface keeps the scheme feeling neat.

A quiet, softly mottled grey with a smooth appearance, suited to understated upholstery and drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

Smooth Gris 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.
