About this fabric

The image shows a compact textile surface in charcoal grey, with fine darker and lighter fibres creating a subtle cloudy variation. There is no visible printed motif, so the interest comes from the close-textured weave and the way the surface shifts softly under the light. The cool, mineral tone gives the fabric a composed, contemporary character rather than a warm or rustic feel. As no further performance or composition specifications were supplied, this description is based on the visible colour and texture of the swatch.

How to use it

Use York Charcoal on an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its deep grey tone can anchor a room without the starkness of pure black. Pair it with pale stone, weathered timber and brushed metal for a restrained, tonal scheme.

Use this deep charcoal tone to give upholstered seating a quietly architectural, modern finish.

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.
