About this fabric

The fabric combines a misty grey ground with subtle angular lines that create an understated chevron and stepped effect across the surface. Its woven texture is clearly visible at close range, while the low-contrast colour keeps the pattern calm rather than graphic. The pale tone catches the light gently and provides a cool, even backdrop to the darker charcoal and black textured cushion shown alongside it. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use this cool grey colourway on a sofa or occasional chair where its restrained pattern can act as a light architectural backdrop. Pair it with charcoal textiles, warm timber and muted botanical tones to bring depth to the misty neutral base.

Use this cool grey upholstery to create a calm, tailored foundation for darker textured accents and natural materials.

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.
