About this fabric

The cloth is patterned with small, broken rectilinear lines that form an irregular maze-like grid across the surface. Soft white-grey markings sit against the lake-grey ground, creating definition without a strong contrast. The weave has a lightly nubby, tactile appearance, with the pattern catching the light in tiny highlights. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this cool lake grey with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm, contemporary scheme. Its small-scale linear pattern is especially suited to structured chairs, headboards or understated accent upholstery.

Use this softly patterned grey to bring quiet structure to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ellipsis Lake Grey without fighting it. 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.
