About this fabric

The colour reads as charcoal-grey with a slight blue-green cast, while the low-contrast surface variation keeps it from looking flat. The close-up shows an even, opaque face with a soft, finely textured appearance rather than a pronounced pile or motif. The supplied record lists no composition, width, rub test or performance features for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this storm-grey colourway to give an armchair, sofa or headboard a calm, grounded finish, particularly alongside pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal. Its cool depth also works well as a quiet contrast to softer grey and blue textiles.

A cool, deep grey plain cloth that brings quiet depth to upholstered seating.

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.
