About this fabric

The image shows a cool French grey ground crossed by a tightly repeated, vertical chevron or herringbone weave. Fine tonal variation within the grey gives the surface subtle depth rather than the appearance of a flat solid. No composition, width, rub-test or performance figures have been supplied for this fabric, so those specifications should be confirmed separately. The small-scale pattern is clear at close range while reading softly and evenly overall.

How to use it

Use this pale, cool grey on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain, then warm the scheme with timber, ivory linen and muted blue accents.

Pair this cool, pale grey with soft whites, natural timber and muted blue accents for a calm, tailored scheme.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sauvage French Grey without fighting it. 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.
