Cove Ink

Belvoir Collection FabricCOVE

Cove Ink is a cool, tailored check in layered greys and inky charcoal bands. The small woven striations give the design a crisp, textile depth rather than a flat printed look.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Cove Ink is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, with a robust 40000 rub test, a 139cm width and a substantial 420gsm. The design combines soft slate ground tones with darker ink and charcoal checks, so the pattern reads sharp and architectural without feeling high contrast. Its 17cm vertical and 17.5cm horizontal repeat creates a balanced tartan effect that feels neat and controlled. The textured weave and muted grey palette suit settings that need a smart, durable fabric with a restrained finish.

How to use it

Use Cove Ink on a tailored armchair, banquette or full-height curtains where its cool grey tone can keep the room looking composed. It pairs especially well with pale oak, brushed metal and plain charcoal or stone textiles.

A cool grey check that feels tailored and understated on seating or curtains.

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