About this fabric

The colour sits between cool light grey and warm taupe, creating a restrained chinchilla shade rather than a stark silver grey. Tiny angled threads form a compact herringbone pattern, adding movement without a pronounced motif. The surface appears evenly woven and lightly textured, with the pale tone catching the light in a gentle, powdery way. No composition, width, rub-test or performance figures are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this pale greige-taupe colourway where a room needs a quiet, tailored neutral: it can sit comfortably on an upholstered chair or sofa, or soften a window as understated drapery.

A softly flecked greige-taupe herringbone for quietly tailored upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Acara Chinchilla 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.
