Tone Concrete

Tone Fabric

Tone Concrete presents a calm, cool grey surface with the muted, mineral character of concrete. Its softly even appearance is lifted by a barely perceptible textile texture visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

The colour is a balanced mid-to-deep grey, cooler and more understated than a warm taupe, with a soft matte finish rather than a noticeable sheen. A fine, closely settled texture gives the plain surface gentle depth while keeping the overall look quiet and architectural. The swatch is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. Its even, versatile appearance makes it suitable for upholstery or drapery where a restrained grey backdrop is wanted.

How to use it

Use Tone Concrete to bring a cool, grounded note to seating, cushions or full-length curtains, pairing it with pale stone, chalky whites and brushed metal. Its muted grey tone also sits comfortably alongside darker charcoal or warm timber for a more layered scheme.

A quiet, cool grey with a softly matte surface that works across upholstery and drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

Tone Concrete 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.
