Town Fume

Name: Town Fume

Town Fume is shown here as an understated smoke-grey cloth, with a fine, even weave and barely visible vertical grain. Its softly muted surface gives the colour a composed, misted quality.

About this fabric

The close-up reveals a plain woven surface rather than a distinct printed motif, with delicate vertical lines adding quiet movement across the grey ground. The fume shade sits between soft charcoal and pale stone, reading cool and subdued rather than stark. Light catches the fine grain gently, keeping the surface matte and restrained. No performance features are noted in the supplied data.

How to use it

Use Town Fume for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds where its soft smoke-grey tone can temper warmer timber, stone and off-white furnishings. Its fine vertical grain will add subtle height without introducing a strong pattern.

A quiet smoke-grey cloth with a fine vertical grain, suited to calm, tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Town Fume 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.
