About this fabric

Pressed Fern Charcoal repeats narrow, vertically waving bands filled with small fern-like marks, rather than a single large motif. Charcoal and near-black edges frame cool grey interiors, while thin muted ochre lines and a light cream ground sharpen the contrast. The photographed surface shows a subtly textured textile face, with the regular vertical rhythm giving this colourway a structured, tailored feel. No composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use the cool charcoal and pale grey tones to give an upholstered chair, headboard or bench a crisp, tailored finish. Pair it with warm ivory, natural timber and small touches of ochre to draw out the pattern’s restrained golden accents.

A structured vertical pattern for tailored upholstery in monochrome and ochre schemes.

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