About this fabric

Seen close up, Coda French Grey is a cool, pale grey woven with tiny, closely packed loops and restrained peppered variation across the surface. The even textile has a lightly nubby, tactile face rather than a printed motif, while the tonal shifts keep the grey from appearing flat. Its mid-weight-looking construction makes it suitable for upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use this cool French grey on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its silvery tone can complement chalky whites, pale timber and other quiet neutrals.

Use this cool, softly mottled grey to bring understated texture to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

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.
