About this fabric

The image shows a plain fabric with a closely packed, velvety pile rather than a visible printed motif. Raised folds catch the light in muted silver-grey traces, while recessed areas deepen to almost black, giving the colourway a cool, atmospheric depth. It is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied, so those details should be confirmed before ordering for a particular application.

How to use it

Use this cool slate-charcoal shade on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its plush surface can catch changing light. Pair it with pale stone, aged metal and soft smoky neutrals to keep the room dramatic without making it feel stark.

A dark, plush slate tone with subtle sheen for sophisticated upholstery and dramatic interiors.

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.
