Thornton Midnight brings a cool, inked slate-blue check to the Burlington collection. Its fine pale grid and softly textured weave give the dark colourway definition without making the surface look stark.

About this fabric

In this Midnight colourway, a deep blue-grey ground is crossed by a closely spaced pale grid, giving the surface a cool, tailored look rather than a high-contrast graphic effect. The image shows a compact woven texture, with fine lighter threads catching across the darker slate base. At 415gsm and 144cm usable width, it has the substantial presence expected of an upholstery-weight cloth. The check repeats every 7.5cm vertically and 8cm horizontally, creating a measured rhythm across chair fronts, cushions or panels.

How to use it

Use the cool slate-blue tone on a buttoned chair, bench or sofa where the small pale check can read as a quietly structured surface. Its blue-grey depth works particularly well with chalky whites, soft grey upholstery and dark painted timber.

A cool, tailored check with the substance and texture suited to structured upholstery.

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.
