About this fabric

This substantial textile weighs 840gsm and has a usable width of 134cm, giving the fabric a dense, weighty presence for upholstery. Its 45 threads per centimetre support the closely packed surface visible in the swatch, where compact loops form an even, pebbled texture rather than a printed motif. The medium grey reads cool and understated, while the irregular light catching across the loops prevents it from appearing flat. With no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, the 0cm repeat keeps cutting straightforward across this plain-textured design; the standard length is 25m.

How to use it

Use this cool Empire Grey on a generous sofa, armchair or headboard where its deep bouclé texture can be seen and felt. Pair it with pale oak, charcoal accents or brushed metal to emphasise the shade’s quiet, contemporary character.

A substantial grey bouclé with pronounced looped texture, well suited to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Zoffany Boucle Empire Grey 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.
