About this fabric

This colourway reads as a restrained slate grey, darker in the recessed folds and subtly lighter where the surface catches the light. The face appears smooth and softly plush rather than visibly woven, giving the draped swatch a quietly luxurious character. Its fluid folds show how the dark tone can move between near-charcoal depth and a softer grey highlight. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair the cool slate tone with pale stone, chalky whites or smoked timber for a calm contemporary room. On upholstery, its soft sheen would add depth to a tailored chair, headboard or sofa without introducing a pattern.

Use this deep, cool slate grey to bring a softly lustrous, refined finish to upholstered seating.

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.
