Geo 04

Plain Fabric

Geo 04 is a quiet warm-grey plain with a finely woven surface that catches the light gently across the folded swatch. Its understated texture gives the colour more depth than a completely flat solid.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a soft, slightly warm grey rather than a blue-toned silver, with delicate tonal variation running through the weave. A fine, close texture creates subtle vertical definition without introducing a printed motif or pattern. The folded edge demonstrates how the cloth holds a clean, softly structured line while the raised areas pick up a pale highlight.

How to use it

Pair this warm grey with chalky whites, mushroom taupes and natural timber for a restrained, layered interior. Its quiet woven texture also works well as a neutral backdrop for stronger patterned cushions or curtains.

Use this softly warm grey as a calm textural neutral on upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Geo 04 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.
