Drake Silver Grey

Drake Silver Grey is a close-up study in cool, quiet texture. Its pale grey ground is formed from dense, short loops that create fine speckled highlights and shadows across the surface.

About this fabric

This Silver Grey colourway has a cool, pale stone cast rather than a warm beige undertone, giving the fabric a calm and understated presence. Tightly packed, irregular loops create a nubby, almost bouclé-like face, with tiny darker recesses adding depth to the otherwise even field. The dense visible weave gives it the substantial appearance associated with upholstery fabric. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed before specification.

How to use it

Use this cool silver-grey texture on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its softly mottled surface can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with crisp whites, pale timber and charcoal accents for a restrained contemporary scheme.

A cool silver-grey, looped texture that brings quiet depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Drake Silver 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.
