Plush Gunmetal

Plush Gunmetal is a deep, cool-toned grey with a subtle olive cast visible across the swatch. Its close, plush surface shifts gently between darker and lighter areas as the nap catches the light.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as charcoal gunmetal rather than a bright or silvery grey, with a restrained green-brown undertone that gives it added depth. The image shows a plain, finely textured surface with no visible printed motif. Its short plush pile creates soft tonal variation across the face, giving the dark shade a quietly tactile finish. The dense-looking appearance makes it particularly suited to upholstered seating.

How to use it

Pair this dark olive-gunmetal tone with warm timber, aged brass and softened cream accents to keep the room from feeling flat. It also works well as a grounding upholstery shade alongside lighter grey or stone textiles.

Use this deep, cool gunmetal shade on upholstered seating where its softly plush surface can add depth without introducing a pattern.

Pairs well with

Plush 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.
