About this fabric

The dense weave combines gunmetal grey with lighter threads, creating a fine herringbone or chevron effect rather than a flat solid colour. Small shifts in the weave catch the light gently, adding depth while keeping the overall impression restrained and sophisticated. The compact, textured appearance makes it particularly suited to upholstery where a subtle pattern and smart finish are wanted. This product is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use Acara Gunmetal on a clean-lined sofa, headboard or occasional chair to anchor a room with cool grey depth. Pair it with pale stone, charcoal, brushed metal and blue-grey accents to draw out its crisp, understated tone.

A cool, finely textured grey that brings tailored depth to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Acara 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.
