Holland Charcoal Fabric

Misc Fabric

Holland Charcoal brings a cool, stone-like character to the fabric library, with irregular charcoal forms scattered across a pale grey ground. Fine pale edging and softly mottled interiors give the pattern a mineral, almost faceted appearance.

About this fabric

The design is built from medium-scale, uneven polygonal shapes in layered charcoal and slate grey, with lighter outlines that define each fragment. Within several motifs, delicate pale blue and warm ivory flecks add restrained points of contrast against the otherwise cool palette. The surface reads as softly textured and weathered rather than sharply graphic, while the light ground keeps the overall colourway airy. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Holland Charcoal on a contemporary occasional chair, headboard or tailored sofa where its cool mineral tones can sit alongside pale grey, chalk white and brushed metal. It can also bring subtle pattern to drapery without adding a strong warm or saturated colour.

A cool grey mineral-inspired pattern with enough visual depth for upholstery and relaxed drapery.

Pairs well with

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