About this fabric

The image shows a finely textured textile built from narrow horizontal bands, with softly uneven edges that give the surface a natural, hand-drawn rhythm. Its silver-grey colouring stays cool and muted, while lighter and darker threads create restrained depth across the swatch. The close-set line pattern reads as small-scale and quietly tailored rather than bold or decorative. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its visual character is the clearest guide to its use.

How to use it

Pair this cool silver-grey with chalky whites, pale stone and brushed metal for a calm contemporary scheme. Its understated horizontal texture would suit a tailored chair, cushion or relaxed blind where the fine line adds interest without dominating the room.

Use the cool silver-grey ground to bring quiet texture to tailored seating, cushions or softly structured 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.
