Deco Deer Empire Grey pairs a pale, cool grey ground with softly contrasting deer, curling foliage and fine tendril details. The restrained tonal palette lets the intricate Deco-inspired pattern read with clarity without becoming visually heavy.

About this fabric

This 366gsm fabric has a softly textured woven appearance, with dove-grey deer and scrolling botanical forms set against a lighter grey background. The pattern repeat measures 59.5cm vertically by 64.5cm horizontally, giving the repeated deer and foliage a medium-scale presence across upholstery. With 34 threads per cm, the surface has a closely worked look that suits the detailed motif. It is supplied in a 134cm usable width and a standard 25m length.

How to use it

Use this cool grey colourway on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional sofa, where the tonal deer pattern can be seen at close range. Pair it with chalky whites, silvered timber and deeper charcoal accents to bring out its quiet, refined contrast.

A cool dove-grey ground with tonal deer and scrolling foliage, bringing quiet Deco character to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Deco Deer Empire Grey 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.
