Austin Check Charcoal combines deep charcoal and near-black checks with softened stone and ivory blocks. The close woven texture gives the pattern a quiet, tactile depth rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The cool charcoal and black areas create a strong grid, while warm stone-grey and ivory squares break up the darker ground with a restrained contrast. Fine crosshatching is visible across the woven surface, adding a slightly grainy texture that changes subtly as the light moves across the swatch. At 332gsm, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstery, with a 135cm usable width for practical cutting. The check has a 19.5cm vertical repeat and 17.5cm horizontal repeat, producing a clearly measured medium-scale layout.

How to use it

Use Austin Check Charcoal on a tailored armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its cool, near-black depth can anchor pale timber, warm stone and ivory surroundings. Pair it with plain charcoal or soft grey cushions to keep the geometry clean.

Use this cool charcoal check to give upholstery a tailored, architectural look without losing woven texture.

Pairs well with

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