About this fabric

The swatch shows a fine horizontal texture, with delicate pale and slightly darker grey threads creating gentle tonal movement rather than a printed motif. Its light, cool shade keeps the surface airy, while the uneven lines add a softly tactile, handcrafted character. The woven appearance makes it visually suitable for both upholstery and drapery, although no composition, width or rub-test figure is supplied for this fabric. No performance features are noted in the supplied record.

How to use it

Use this colourway where a room needs a restrained cool neutral: it can bring quiet texture to an occasional chair, headboard or curtain without introducing strong pattern. Pair the pale French grey with chalky whites, blue-greys and natural timber to preserve its calm, lightly layered feel.

A cool, pale grey woven texture with fine horizontal movement for relaxed upholstery or understated window treatments.

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.
