About this fabric

The close weave combines horizontal and vertical yarns in a delicate crosshatch, rather than a printed motif. Cool silver-grey tones dominate, while the darker thread intersections add gentle definition across the surface. Light catches the finer threads unevenly, giving the fabric a muted lift without making it appear glossy. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool silver-grey on a softly tailored sofa or occasional chair, or let it form calm, light-filtering drapery alongside charcoal, white and pale timber. Its fine tonal texture works especially well where a plain grey would feel too flat.

A cool silver-grey woven texture that brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and relaxed contemporary schemes.

Elbert 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.
