About this fabric

The fabric appears plain rather than patterned, with subtle tonal variation across the grey surface and a gentle nap that catches the light unevenly. Its lead-grey colour sits between silver and charcoal, remaining softened rather than stark or heavily contrastive. The plush texture gives the swatch a quiet depth without introducing a visible motif. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool lead grey on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining seat where its softly plush surface can add depth without dominating the room. Pair it with pale stone, chalky white or darker graphite accents to echo its muted tonal range.

A cool, softly textured lead grey with a plush nap that suits tailored upholstery and adds quiet depth to furniture.

Plush Lead 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.
