About this fabric

The image shows a closely textured woven fabric in a gentle basalt-grey tone, softened by warm beige-grey undertones. Tiny charcoal and taupe flecks are dispersed across the surface, creating a lightly weathered finish rather than a defined motif. The fine weave catches the light in small shifts, so the colour reads brighter across raised areas and slightly deeper in the texture. As a fabric, this versatile mid-weight-looking design can suit both upholstery and drapery where quiet tonal interest is wanted.

How to use it

Pair Susa Basalt with chalky whites, pale oak and soft taupes for a calm, warm-neutral room. Its barely mottled surface also works well on a tailored chair or full-length curtains where the flecks can be seen at close range.

Use its softly mottled warm-grey tone to bring quiet texture to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Susa Basalt is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
