National Steel

National Fabric

National Steel has a cool, muted steel-grey ground with fine vertical striations running through its close woven surface. Subtle tonal variation gives the cloth a softly weathered depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The image shows a compact woven textile built from slender vertical threads, with small irregular crosswise flecks that create a lightly slubbed texture. Its steel-grey tone sits between charcoal and taupe, reading cool in the lighter threads and slightly softened in the darker weave. The catalogued type is Fabric, and no performance features are noted for this colourway. With its restrained texture and moderate visual scale, it can work across upholstery and drapery where a quietly textured grey is required.

How to use it

Pair National Steel with pale stone, chalky white or weathered timber to draw out its cool grey character, or layer it with charcoal accents for a deeper, tailored scheme. Its fine vertical texture is particularly effective on clean-lined seating, cushions or simple curtains.

Use this quietly layered steel-grey weave to add depth to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

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.
