About this fabric

The close-up shows a fine, softly irregular crosshatch running through the surface, giving the fabric a gently tactile character without a separate motif. Its shale colouring sits between cool grey and warm taupe, with darker woven lines adding quiet depth rather than a flat, uniform finish. The cloth falls into relaxed, fluid folds, making it visually suited to drapery. No further specification data has been supplied for composition, width, or performance.

How to use it

Use Kobe Shale for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds where its warm grey-taupe tone can soften a neutral room. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber and darker charcoal accents to pick up the depth in its crosshatched weave.

Use this softly shaded taupe-grey weave to bring quiet texture and fluid movement to curtains or blinds.

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.
