Painswick Grey shows a soft, cool grey ground lifted by a neat woven check in blue-grey and muted brown. The overall effect is understated and tailored, with just enough contrast to give the cloth depth.

About this fabric

This 100% polyester fabric is a substantial 420gsm, and the weave has the body to work well across curtains, blinds and upholstery. Painswick Grey has a pale, misty grey base with a fine check that reads in soft navy-blue and weathered taupe, creating a calm, classic finish rather than a sharp tartan look. The small 5cm horizontal and vertical repeat keeps the pattern orderly and compact, while the textured weave adds a gently dappled surface. With a 30,000 martindale and a dry-clean-only care instruction, it is a practical choice for everyday interiors that need both style and durability.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want a crisp, quiet pattern that still feels warm and textured; it works especially well on a small sofa, reading chair or Roman blind. Pair the cool grey ground with chalk whites, pale oak and ink-blue accents for a refined, layered room.

The cool grey ground and subtle blue-brown check suit tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Painswick 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.
