About this fabric

The ground reads as a deep charcoal with a cool blue cast, while the beetles combine powder blue, icy teal, cream and restrained olive-green markings. The motifs are spaced across the cloth rather than forming a dense field, allowing the dark background to remain visually dominant. With a 360gsm weight and 126cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its 23cm vertical repeat and 21cm horizontal repeat provide a compact, regular layout for planning cuts and pattern placement.

How to use it

Pair this cool mineral colourway with pale blue-grey, weathered timber and soft ivory for a quietly graphic scheme. On a chair or blind, the dark ground gives the small beetles definition without making the room feel brightly patterned.

Use the cool charcoal ground with pale blue, cream and olive accents to bring measured character to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

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