Shade Lake Grey

Nuance Fabric

Shade Lake Grey presents as a cool, pale grey textile with a barely visible woven grain across its even surface. Its understated tone has a soft, misted quality rather than a strong blue or charcoal cast.

About this fabric

The swatch is visually plain, with fine tonal variation in the weave creating gentle depth without a visible motif or repeat. Its light grey colouring reads calm and contemporary, while the subtle surface texture prevents it from appearing completely flat. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its character is best appreciated through its restrained colour and woven finish.

How to use it

Use this cool lake grey to bring quiet brightness to upholstered seating or relaxed window treatments, especially alongside chalky whites, pale timber and soft blue-greys. Its low-contrast surface also suits rooms where texture is preferred over pattern.

A cool, quietly textured grey for calm upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

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.
