About this fabric

The colour sits between cool grey and warm taupe, creating a softened stone-like impression rather than a sharp neutral. Very subtle tonal variation and fine directional marks can be seen across the surface, giving the wallcovering a brushed, tactile appearance. The restrained depth allows the shade to read calmly across the broad field while retaining interest at close range. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Sueded Smoke with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm, tonal scheme. Its muted taupe-grey depth also works well behind darker brown or charcoal furnishings.

Use this quiet taupe-grey wallcovering to bring soft depth to contemporary, tonal rooms.

Pairs well with

Sueded Smoke 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.
