About this fabric

The close-up shows a tightly textured grey textile with delicate vertical striations running consistently across the surface. Gunmetal reads as a cool, deep grey rather than a soft silver, with darker threads adding quiet depth to the even ground. The fine weave catches the light gently, revealing texture without introducing a pronounced motif. Its balanced, mid-weight-looking appearance makes it a practical visual choice for either tailored upholstery or understated drapery.

How to use it

Pair this cool gunmetal grey with pale stone, crisp white or smoked timber for a clean contemporary scheme. It also works as a calm grounding shade alongside blue-grey upholstery and brushed metal details.

Use the cool gunmetal tone to give upholstery or curtains a quietly tailored, contemporary finish.

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.
