Liason Embrace Cement presents a cool cement-grey woven surface with a fine, tightly repeated chevron-like texture. In the image, its pale grey face is shown as a broad structured band against deep charcoal folds, making the contrast in tone especially clear.

About this fabric

The colour sits in a cool, pale cement-grey range, with the tightly packed weave giving it gentle tonal variation rather than a flat block of colour. Its small, repeating chevron-like structure is clearly visible across the band, adding surface interest without a large-scale motif. The fabric reads as firm and neatly structured in this presentation, while the softly textured face catches light more diffusely than the smooth charcoal curtain behind it. That contrast makes this colourway feel restrained and architectural rather than warm or rustic.

How to use it

Use the cool cement-grey tone on a tailored chair, headboard or upholstered bench, where its small woven texture can add depth without dominating. Pair it with charcoal, soft grey and black accents to echo the tonal contrast visible in the image.

Use the cool cement-grey weave to bring subtle structure to tailored upholstery and refined neutral schemes.

Liason Embrace Cement 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.
