Town Typhoon

Town Typhoon appears as a deep, storm-muted blue grey, with a quiet woven grain visible across the swatch. Its near-solid surface keeps the emphasis on colour and texture rather than motif.

About this fabric

The colour sits between slate blue and charcoal grey, giving the cloth a cool, subdued depth rather than a bright or saturated blue appearance. A fine, close weave creates a restrained vertical grain across the surface, while slight tonal variation keeps the swatch from looking completely flat. The matte face gives Town Typhoon a calm, tailored character that suits interiors where texture is preferred over pattern. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on a clean-lined sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its stormy tone can anchor softer neutrals, pale timber and brushed metal.

A cool, storm-muted blue grey with a subtle woven grain for quietly tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Town Typhoon 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.
