Tanzania Slate brings a cool, slate-grey take on the Serengeti Collection’s animal-inspired texture. The small spotted motif reads softly layered across the surface, giving the fabric a quiet, contemporary energy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and made for drapes only, Tanzania Slate has a practical handle suited to window dressing rather than upholstery. The 140cm width and 24cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat make it straightforward to plan across curtains and larger drops. Visually, the colour sits in a muted grey palette with a cooler, slightly misty depth that keeps the animal pattern understated. The fine, all-over texture breaks up the surface so the print feels refined rather than bold, with the slate tone helping it settle easily into modern schemes.

How to use it

Use this cool grey colourway for full-length curtains in rooms that need pattern without strong contrast. It pairs especially well with pale plaster, black accents, and brushed metal finishes.

A cool, textural leopard motif that adds subtle depth without overpowering a room.

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