Wave Fabric

Wave Soft Grey is a very pale, cool grey textile with a fine vertical texture. Its softly varied surface catches the light in delicate silvery lines rather than a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a close linear weave in soft grey, with narrow vertical striations shifting subtly between brighter silver and slightly deeper grey. The restrained texture gives the colour a quiet, airy depth while retaining a clean, contemporary appearance. No composition, width, performance rating or rub-test figure has been supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering. The fine, even surface reads as a versatile fabric for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Pair Wave Soft Grey with white, chalk and pale timber for a light, tonal scheme, or use it against charcoal accents to bring out the weave’s cool silver-grey variation. Its quiet vertical texture would work well on a simple occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtain.

Use this pale, cool grey weave to add quiet texture to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Wave Soft 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.
