About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Hydra Optic presents as a fine, fluid cloth with a small-scale mesh-like structure visible across the swatch. The cool light-grey tone feels clean and understated rather than warm, while the closely spaced woven lines add quiet visual definition. As the fabric bends, the open-looking grid catches the light on the raised folds and settles into soft graphite-grey shading in the creases.

How to use it

Use this cool light-grey colourway for relaxed curtains, sheers or layered window treatments, especially alongside white, charcoal and pale timber. Its restrained crosshatch texture adds interest without competing with patterned upholstery or stronger architectural details.

Use the cool light-grey tone at windows where its fine, airy weave can soften stronger architectural or textural finishes.

Pairs well with

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