About this fabric

This colourway reads as a misted blue-grey, with a subdued depth that stays calm rather than stark or metallic. The surface appears smooth and finely textured, allowing the shade to catch the light gently without creating a visible pattern. Its plain construction makes the tonal character the focus, moving from soft silver-grey in the light to a slightly deeper slate impression in the shaded areas. No performance features are noted in the supplied catalogue information.

How to use it

Use Fumee for full-length curtains in rooms needing a cool, quiet backdrop, pairing it with chalk white, pale timber and brushed metal. Its softened grey tone also works well against deeper charcoal or blue-grey accents for a more layered scheme.

A cool mist-grey textile with an understated surface, ideal for quietly tailored curtains and relaxed contemporary schemes.

Absolu - Fumee 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.
