About this fabric

Quartz 05 FR is a smoky blue-grey ground crossed by irregular, painterly marks in chalky ivory, muted taupe, charcoal and pale ochre. The close view shows a pronounced woven grid, with fine horizontal and vertical yarn lines giving the surface a dry, lightly striated character. Rather than a crisp repeat, the abstract forms break into vertical smudges and fragmented pools, so this colourway reads atmospheric and gently distressed. No composition, width or performance figures are supplied for this fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway on seating or curtains in a contemporary room with pale timber, warm stone and brushed metal. Its muted ochre and taupe accents can be echoed in cushions or ceramics without losing the fabric’s calm, weathered character.

Use the cool blue-grey ground to temper warm timber, while the ivory, taupe and ochre marks add layered visual interest.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Quartz 05 FR 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.
