About this fabric

The colour reads as a light storm grey, with a subtle coolness that keeps it feeling clean rather than beige. A delicate grid of closely set threads is visible across the surface, while slight tonal shifts give the cloth gentle depth. No composition, width or performance figures have been supplied for this colourway, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended application. Its understated texture makes the fabric feel smart and versatile without introducing a strong pattern.

How to use it

Use this cool pale grey on relaxed seating or full-length curtains alongside chalk white, soft stone and charcoal accents. Its fine, quiet weave also works well as a calm backdrop for darker timber or brushed metal.

A quiet cool-grey plain weave for understated upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Town Storm 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.
