St James Jet

Name: St James Jet
Brand: Art of the Loom
SKU: STJMSJET

St James Jet is defined by its near-black ground, where smoky grey botanical sprays appear in a clear, repeating arrangement. Pale flower edging and pinpoint blue centres lift the dark colourway without making it bright.

About this fabric

St James Jet places branching grey foliage and stylised flowers against a near-black charcoal ground. Each bloom has a pale contour and a small, vivid blue centre, giving the otherwise restrained palette a precise flash of colour. The fine, woven-looking surface reads as a dense cloth, while the dark base absorbs light and lends the pattern quiet, graphic depth.

How to use it

Use this charcoal-and-grey colourway to anchor an armchair, sofa or feature seat, then echo its small blue centres in cushions or painted joinery. Warm timber and soft grey finishes will keep the dark floral pattern balanced.

Use the charcoal ground to anchor a room, balancing it with warm timber, soft grey or muted blue accents.

Pairs well with

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