About this fabric

The swatch shows an even, finely grained weave in a cool blue-grey tone, with subtle shifts between slate, grey and softened teal. The surface is matte rather than shiny, so the colour reads calm and controlled rather than decorative. As a catalogued fabric with no performance features noted, its character here comes from the understated weave and versatile mid-weight appearance. The unpatterned face can sit comfortably where a quiet, tailored textile is wanted.

How to use it

Pair Town Tempest with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a cool, composed scheme. Its muted blue-grey depth also works well against warm oak or camel accents, where the contrast gently lifts the colour.

Use this cool blue-grey plain weave to bring a calm, tailored note to seating, blinds or curtains.

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.
