About this fabric

The image shows a tightly woven grey surface in which lighter and darker threads run predominantly from top to bottom, creating a restrained shadow effect. The colour reads cool and mineral rather than warm, with a gently softened appearance instead of a flat charcoal block. Its subtle linear texture gives the fabric a smart, quietly tailored character suitable for both upholstery and drapery by visible handle and weave. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this cool shadow-grey with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm contemporary scheme, or use it against deeper charcoal and ink tones to emphasise the fabric’s fine vertical texture. It would bring understated structure to an armchair, headboard, cushion or simple curtain.

Use the cool shadow-grey ground to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating, cushions or softly tailored window treatments.

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.
