About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric is supplied as a 139 cm usable width textile with a 40 m standard length, and its 241 gsm weight gives it useful substance without looking heavy. With no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, the fabric reads as a straightforward plain, letting the fine woven texture do the work. The colour is a restrained graphite grey with a cool cast, softened by the visible slub and linen-like grain in the surface. At 84 threads per cm, it has a compact, neatly woven appearance that suits clean upholstery or tailored window treatments.

How to use it

Use this graphite tone to anchor a scheme with pale oak, chalk white, or smoky blue accents. It works especially well where you want texture and depth without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool graphite neutral that feels refined and easy to layer.

Pairs well with

Rue Linen Graphite 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.
