Boscombe Soot

Name: Boscombe Soot
Brand: Art of the Loom
SKU: BOSCOMBE COL 4

Boscombe Soot is defined by a deep soot-black ground, layered with charcoal-grey foliage, warm cream details and sharp olive-green accents. Its symmetrical botanical layout gives the swatch a distinctly ornamental, almost archival character.

About this fabric

A tall central floral motif rises through the design, framed by curling branches, rounded olive-green fruit forms and pale, stylised leaves. The lower section introduces large paisley-like botanical shapes, while fine black tracery and grey scrollwork create depth across the cream and charcoal areas. The contrast is dramatic but softened by the muted olive and warm grey tones, giving this colourway a darker, more collected feel than a bright botanical. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Boscombe Soot on a statement armchair, footstool or occasional upholstered piece where its charcoal ground can anchor a room. Balance the dark pattern with warm ivory, weathered grey and small touches of olive green rather than introducing competing strong colours.

Use this richly detailed charcoal colourway to bring depth and antique botanical character to upholstery.

Pairs well with

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