About this fabric

The charcoal leaves stand out strongly against the light grey ground, while the restrained mauve tones bring warmth without lifting the colourway out of its subdued palette. Fine horizontal lines and varied woven shading are visible across the ground and within the leaf forms, adding tactile definition to the 405gsm cloth. A 129cm usable width gives the fabric practical coverage for upholstery, while the standard length is 40m. The botanical repeat measures 32.5cm vertically by 43cm horizontally, creating a prominent but clearly spaced arrangement of arching leaves.

How to use it

Use Palma Charcoal on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard alongside pale grey walls, charcoal painted details and muted mauve or taupe accessories. Its cool charcoal depth works especially well when balanced with lighter upholstery or natural timber.

Use this substantial charcoal botanical on upholstered seating where its pale ground and muted mauve accents can soften the depth of the design.

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