Tosca Storm

Name: Tosca Storm
Brand: Mark Alexander

Tosca Storm presents a close, plain weave in a weathered grey with a subtle taupe warmth. The tightly interlaced threads create a softly mottled surface rather than a flat, uniform colour.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a quiet grey with a slight taupe cast, avoiding both blue-grey coolness and deep charcoal intensity. Its dense, tiny-scale weave is formed from closely interlaced pale and darker threads, giving the surface gentle tonal variation as the light catches it. This fabric is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features, composition, width, usage or rub-test specification supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use the softened grey-taupe tone to bring calm depth to a neutral scheme, pairing it with chalky whites, weathered timber and darker grey accents. Its understated woven texture can add interest without introducing a visible pattern.

A quietly textured grey-taupe weave suited to calm, understated interiors.

Pairs well with

Tosca Storm 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.
