About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric, Carraway Storm has no further composition, width or performance specification supplied. In the image, fine vertical ribs create a restrained stripe effect without a separate printed motif. The cool storm-grey colour is softened rather than stark, with darker channels giving the surface quiet depth and lighter ridges catching the light. This balanced texture makes the colourway suitable to consider for either upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Use Carraway Storm where a room needs a cool, composed grey with more surface interest than a flat plain. It would sit naturally against chalky neutrals, charcoal details and warm wood, allowing the vertical texture to add definition without introducing a strong pattern.

Pair the cool storm grey with pale timber, brushed metal and deeper charcoal accents for a quietly tailored scheme.

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.
