About this fabric

This woven colourway combines muted grey with a restrained denim undertone, giving it a cooler and more layered appearance than a flat neutral. Fine vertical lines run through the cloth, while lighter and darker fibres create a gently heathered effect. The surface appears softly textured rather than patterned, so the tonal movement remains quiet at a distance. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Denim Heather to temper warm timber and textured upholstery, or carry its cool grey-blue tone into relaxed curtains and cushions. Its understated vertical texture works particularly well where a plain fabric would otherwise feel too even.

Its cool, softly mottled grey tone brings a quiet denim character to upholstered seating, cushions or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

Denim Heather 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.
