About this fabric

The image shows a deep Flint grey built from charcoal and lighter grey threads, creating a shaded, slightly weathered appearance across the surface. Its fine, horizontal texture catches the light gently, so the colour reads softer in some areas and deeper in others rather than as a flat solid. The restrained construction makes this a versatile mid-weight-looking fabric for upholstery or drapery. No additional performance or composition specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this cool charcoal-grey with pale stone, chalky white and washed timber for a quiet contemporary room. It also works well against blackened metal or blue-grey accents where the fine striation can add depth without a strong pattern.

Use this cool, finely textured grey as a calm foundation for upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

26 Flint 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.
