Bowmont Charcoal presents a quiet charcoal-grey stripe with a slightly taupe cast. Fine vertical lines sit over a close, subtly textured weave, giving the flat colour gentle movement as the light changes.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a softened charcoal grey rather than a deep black, with closely spaced fine vertical lines adding definition across the surface. The subtly irregular weave keeps the stripe from appearing stark and gives the heavy 415gsm cloth a tactile, substantial character suited to upholstery. Its 144cm usable width provides generous coverage, while the 8cm horizontal repeat and 0cm vertical repeat describe the stripe layout for planning joins. The standard length is 30m, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Bowmont Charcoal on a structured armchair, dining seat or sofa where its cool grey tone can bring tailored depth without overwhelming the room. Pair it with warm wood, soft ivory or muted taupe to draw out the weave’s gentle warmth.

A substantial charcoal-grey stripe for tailored upholstery with a quietly textured finish.

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