Glen Lyon - Grey

Misc Fabric

Glen Lyon - Grey combines a cool, softly flecked grey ground with a medium-scale check picked out in muted lilac, mauve and ivory. Its dense, tactile surface gives the colourway a quiet depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

The woven surface is visibly nubby and softly mottled, with charcoal and mid-grey fibres blending across each check. Fine lilac-blue and muted mauve lines add restrained colour, while ivory bands brighten the intersections and outer edges of the pattern. The check reads as tailored but gently softened by the woolly-looking texture, making this a considered choice for upholstered pieces. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool grey ground on a structured armchair, sofa or footstool, then echo its muted lilac and mauve stripes in cushions or painted joinery. Ivory detailing nearby will pick up the lighter lines in the check without making the scheme feel stark.

A softly textured grey check with lilac, mauve and ivory accents for tailored upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Glen Lyon - Grey without fighting it. 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.
