Empire Grey is a quiet, cool grey with a smooth satin surface and a barely perceptible woven texture. The plain face catches the light softly, giving the swatch depth without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

This 380 gsm Wool Satin has a substantial, closely woven appearance suited to upholstered furniture. Its Empire Grey tone sits between silver and stone, reading cool and muted rather than blue or warm, while the satin finish adds a restrained sheen across the surface. The usable width is 140 cm, with a standard length of 60 m. With a 0 cm vertical and 0 cm horizontal pattern repeat, the plain construction can be positioned without motif matching.

How to use it

Use Empire Grey on a clean-lined sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool stone tone can balance warmer timber and natural finishes. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak or deeper charcoal for a composed, tailored room.

A cool, softly lustrous grey for tailored upholstery with a calm, contemporary feel.

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.
