Misc Fabric

Basket Slate is a deep, cool charcoal-grey textile with a subtly greened slate cast. Its tightly woven surface gives the dark colour quiet depth, while the softly gathered folds reveal a gentle change from matte shadow to muted sheen.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Andrew Martin’s Misc collection, Basket Slate has a fine, closely interlaced weave visible across the swatch. The dark slate tone is softened by a restrained olive-grey undertone, keeping it atmospheric rather than stark black. Draped folds bring out delicate tonal shifts across the surface, while the tiny basket texture gives the cloth a neat, structured appearance.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-slate colourway to anchor pale stone, chalky grey or weathered timber schemes. It suits tailored seating as well as full, softly folded curtains where its fine weave can catch the light.

A cool, dark woven neutral with enough texture to add depth to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Basket Slate Fabric is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
