Liason Embrace Gunmetal

Name: Liason Embrace Gunmetal
Brand: Mark Alexander

Liason Embrace Gunmetal reads as a deep, cool grey with a subtle satin-like glow across its softly folded surface. In the image, the cloth falls in generous vertical pleats, creating strong tonal depth from charcoal shadow to muted silver-grey.

About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as a textile and is shown here in a fluid, curtain-like arrangement, making its drapery character particularly clear. The gunmetal colour is restrained and cool rather than blue, with the folds shifting between near-black charcoal and a softer graphite grey. A low, even lustre catches along the raised folds without creating a high-shine effect. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this gunmetal colourway for full-length curtains where its cool depth can frame a room and its changing grey tones can soften strong architectural lines. Pair it with pale plaster, stone or warm timber to balance the darker drapery.

Pairs well with

Liason Embrace Gunmetal 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.
