About this fabric

The close weave forms a tiny, irregular grid that gives the otherwise plain surface a gently tactile character. Steel grey reads cool and muted here, with a slight stone-like softness rather than a stark silver finish. Diagonal folds reveal delicate changes in light across the weave, adding depth without introducing a visible motif or strong contrast. No further composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Empire Steel to bring quiet texture to a contemporary sofa, occasional chair or relaxed curtain, balancing its cool grey tone with chalky whites, pale wood and blue-grey accents.

Pair this cool steel-grey weave with pale timber, soft whites and muted mineral tones for a calm, textural scheme.

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.
