About this fabric

This 428gsm Zoffany fabric has a substantial presence suited to upholstery, with 69 threads per centimetre adding definition to the closely worked surface. In the swatch, pale grey foliage, curling stems and softly mottled ornamental forms drift across an ivory-silver background rather than appearing as a sharp, high-contrast print. Its 51cm vertical repeat and 68.5cm horizontal repeat create a measured, medium-scale pattern that can be read clearly across a chair, headboard or sofa. The 137cm usable width and 50m standard length support considered larger upholstery projects.

How to use it

Pair Carrera Silver with chalky whites, cool stone and soft blue-grey accents for a calm, light-filled room. Its faded silver tone works particularly well on a shaped armchair or tailored sofa where the botanical repeat can be appreciated.

Use this softly faded silver-grey damask to bring quiet pattern and cool, tailored depth to upholstered seating.

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.
