Girard Gunmetal combines a pale, cool grey ground with loosely outlined geometric panels in subtly deeper gunmetal tones. The result is a quiet abstract design with visible textile texture and gentle tonal depth.

About this fabric

Irregular blocks, angled shapes and curved sections overlap across the surface, creating a collage-like pattern without strong contrast. The colourway stays within a restrained range of soft grey, from almost silvery areas to shaded gunmetal panels. Fine vertical lines are visible through the design, giving the cloth a lightly ribbed appearance and catching the light differently across each shape. Its cool, low-contrast character gives the pattern a composed and understated presence.

How to use it

Use Girard Gunmetal at a window where its pale grey ground can retain a light, airy feel while the deeper panels add definition. It pairs naturally with charcoal, chalk white, brushed metal and cool timber tones.

Use this softly structured gunmetal grey for curtains or blinds in a calm, contemporary 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.
