About this fabric

The close-up shows a finely woven surface crossed by delicate horizontal striations rather than a defined printed motif. Slate-grey threads create a muted, layered appearance, while scattered lighter fibres give the cloth a soft, understated shimmer. The even, fluid-looking weave makes this colourway especially well suited to drapery, where its tonal variation can be appreciated across a larger drop. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use 162 Slate for full-length curtains or relaxed blinds in a cool contemporary room, pairing its charcoal-silver tone with pale stone, chalky grey or brushed metal accents. It also provides a quietly polished backdrop for deeper blue-grey upholstery.

A cool, softly shimmering slate grey with fine horizontal texture, ideal for understated curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside 162 Slate without fighting it. 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.
