Nootka Empire Grey has a softly luminous, near-white silver-grey ground covered with densely layered leafy forms. The raised-looking botanical texture gives the cool colourway gentle depth as the light moves across the surface.

About this fabric

This 215gsm fabric has a 140cm usable width and a detailed botanical repeat measuring 80cm vertically by 70cm horizontally. In the swatch, slender leaf and twig motifs overlap closely in pale grey and white, creating a softly tactile surface rather than a flat printed appearance. Its cool, lightly frosted tone keeps the dense pattern feeling airy, while the 168 threads per cm support the fine definition visible in the foliage. The standard length is 60m, making it suitable for coordinating larger upholstery or drapery requirements.

How to use it

Use Nootka Empire Grey on a reading chair, headboard or full-length curtains where its cool silver tone can catch natural light and its leafy texture can do the decorative work. Pair it with chalky whites, soft greys and brushed metal for a calm, quietly smart scheme.

A pale, cool grey botanical textile that brings tactile detail to upholstery, curtains and cushions without adding strong colour.

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