About this fabric

The visible weave forms a small, repeating chevron or herringbone effect, giving this colourway a gentle sense of movement without a bold printed motif. Its cool grey tone is softened by fine tonal variation in the yarns, creating a quiet, silverbirch-like appearance. The structured, narrow woven form shown here suggests a firm textile suited to upholstery applications and detailed finishing. As no further composition, width or performance specifications were supplied, this description is based on the photographed surface and construction.

How to use it

Use this pale silvery grey where a cool neutral is needed to lighten upholstered seating, headboards or trim without introducing a strong contrast. Pair its fine chevron texture with plain linens, chalky whites and deeper charcoal accents.

A cool, softly flecked grey with a compact chevron weave that adds subtle definition to upholstered details.

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.
