About this fabric

The ground reads as a medium, cool grey with a muted taupe cast rather than a bright or silvery finish. Fine, closely spaced lines sweep and loop across the surface, creating an organic, almost topographic rhythm. Small flecks of lighter yarn pick out the pattern and give the woven face visible depth. Its substantial-looking texture makes this colourway especially convincing on upholstered furniture.

How to use it

Pair Cable Storm with chalky whites, weathered timber and soft blue-grey accents to reinforce its cool, quiet character. Its directional pattern would work particularly well on a statement armchair, headboard or tailored sofa.

The cool stone-grey ground and tactile linear pattern bring quiet structure to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cable Storm without fighting it. 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.
