About this fabric

The ground reads as a cool mid-grey gunmetal, with a subtle depth that shifts gently across the woven surface. Repeated cream-toned floral sprays are arranged in staggered rows, each motif tall and finely detailed rather than broad or bold. A fine, even weave adds quiet texture to the background, while the lighter motifs remain clearly defined. The overall effect is calm and tailored, with the gunmetal shade giving the embroidery a more muted, contemporary character.

How to use it

Use this cool gunmetal colourway for full-length curtains or relaxed blinds in a room with pale stone, chalk or warm timber tones. Its cream floral embroidery can soften darker grey furnishings without losing the scheme’s tailored feel.

Use the cool gunmetal-grey ground to bring a quiet, tailored mood to curtains or blinds, with the pale motifs adding gentle contrast.

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.
