Obscura Rainstorm is a quietly textured woven fabric in a pale grey-taupe colourway. Its close, irregular surface shifts gently between cool grey and warm natural flecks as the cloth folds.

About this fabric

The fabric has a fine crosshatched weave, with softly mottled areas that give the otherwise restrained ground a little depth. Rainstorm reads as a cool, light grey overall, tempered by beige-taupe threads that prevent it from feeling stark. In the swatch, the raised folds catch the light while the woven texture remains understated and natural-looking. With no additional performance or specification data supplied, its most distinctive feature here is the subtle tonal variation visible across the cloth.

How to use it

Use this pale grey-taupe colourway on relaxed seating, cushions or full-length curtains where its quiet flecking can soften white walls and balance warm wood. Layer it with oatmeal, stone and muted charcoal for a tonal scheme with gentle contrast.

Pair this softly mottled grey-taupe weave with pale timber, chalky neutrals and brushed metal for a calm, layered interior.

Pairs well with

Obscura Rainstorm is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
