About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Art of the Loom’s Decadence collection, Raffles Zig Zag 5 is built around tightly repeating pointed chevrons. The upper part of the swatch reads deep charcoal, while the lower area softens into a misted blue-grey with pale silver-grey zig-zags. A visibly raised, irregular weave gives the surface tactile depth and breaks up the precision of the geometric pattern. The cool, quietly reflective colour balance makes this version feel modern and composed rather than warm or rustic.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey and charcoal colourway on an armchair, headboard or sofa where its medium-scale chevrons can act as a graphic focal point. Pair it with charcoal, soft white and muted blue-grey accents to echo the swatch’s darker upper tones and lighter lower field.

Use this cool blue-grey and charcoal zig-zag weave to add graphic texture to upholstered seating.

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.
