About this fabric

The colourway has a cool, muted character, with the light upper section gradually settling into a shaded taupe-grey base. Subtle horizontal striations run across the surface, creating a soft brushed effect rather than a defined motif. Its low-contrast tonal movement keeps the design calm while adding visible depth to the cloth. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

The soft grey-brown ombré would suit understated curtains in a neutral room, especially where the darker lower tone can ground pale walls and upholstery.

Use the cool, shaded grey-brown ombré to bring quiet depth to full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Meon Smoke 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.
