Town Gunmetal

Town Gunmetal is a deep, cool grey textile with a restrained, almost charcoal depth. Its close-up surface reveals a fine woven texture rather than a printed pattern, giving the colour a softly dimensional finish.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as an even gunmetal grey, with subtle tonal variation across the surface where the fine weave catches the light. Delicate vertical movement is visible through the close texture, while the overall appearance remains plain and understated. With no performance features or further specification data supplied, its defining character is the balance between a smooth visual field and tactile woven detail.

How to use it

Pair this cool gunmetal shade with pale stone, chalky whites or blue-grey accents for a composed contemporary room. Its quiet texture can add depth to plain upholstery while remaining discreet at a window.

Use this cool, deep grey weave to bring quiet definition to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Town Gunmetal 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.
