Skyline Grey Mist

Name: Skyline Grey Mist
Brand: Mark Alexander

Skyline Grey Mist has a calm, pale grey-beige ground with fine horizontal variation running across the surface. Its softly nubby weave gives the colourway a quiet, tactile depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The close weave is formed from fine horizontal slubs and softly irregular bands, creating a subtle strié effect visible across the swatch. Grey mist is lightened by warm taupe and oatmeal threads, so the overall tone feels gentle and slightly softened rather than stark or silver. The compact-looking textile surface has enough visual texture to make this colourway particularly suited to upholstery where a restrained, tonal finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use this muted grey-mist and taupe blend on an armchair, sofa or headboard alongside chalky whites, natural oak and other quiet neutrals. It also works well as a calming base for darker timber or brushed metal accents.

A softly mottled grey-mist weave that brings quiet texture to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Skyline Grey Mist is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
