About this fabric

The ground reads as an understated elephant grey, lifted by fine warm-grey and ivory threads that create a subtly flecked appearance. A close herringbone-like weave runs across the face in small angled rows, giving the cloth visible texture and a softly broken finish. The low-contrast pattern feels calm and tailored rather than bold, while the woven surface adds quiet depth as the light shifts across it. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this soft elephant grey where a room needs texture without added colour, such as a tailored armchair, relaxed sofa or full-length curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted taupe to draw out the weave’s warm-grey flecks.

A softly textured grey weave that brings quiet pattern and depth to upholstery or drapery.

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.
