About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Serge Smoke has a visibly fine, horizontal woven texture that gives the smoke-grey background a quiet grain. Repeating teardrop paisleys are picked out in pale grey, while their inner checkerboard fills add a distinct geometric counterpoint. The low-contrast palette reads cool and composed, with the darker ground creating depth around each motif. Its balanced scale and structured weave make it suitable for upholstery or drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Serge Smoke on a tailored chair, bench or pair of curtains where its cool grey tone can sit comfortably with charcoal, stone and soft white. Repeat the pale paisley outlines in plain cushions or furnishings to keep the checked centres from feeling busy.

The cool smoke-grey ground and pale checked paisleys bring measured pattern to contemporary upholstery, cushions or curtains.

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.
