About this fabric

The swatch reads as a cool light grey, shifting between misty mid-grey and slightly paler threads across its close, napped-looking surface. Subtle charcoal and silver-grey flecks create a softly mottled texture rather than a defined printed motif, while the low sheen keeps the overall effect understated. Its dense appearance makes it best suited to upholstery, although no performance features are noted for this fabric. The restrained tone works particularly well where a calm, tonal finish is wanted without introducing a strong pattern.

How to use it

Use this cool light grey on a sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard, pairing it with crisp whites, pale timber and blue-grey accents. Its gently mottled surface can also soften darker charcoal or black furnishings without looking stark.

Its cool, softly mottled grey surface brings quiet texture to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Light Grey - 2010/05 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.
