Ferndown Charcoal

Heritage FabricCCF0265-02

Ferndown Charcoal pairs a softly mottled stone-grey ground with branching charcoal foliage, creating a cool, quietly graphic botanical weave. The leafy stems spread across the surface with enough contrast to remain clearly defined without feeling stark.

About this fabric

The woven ground has a natural-looking, lightly pebbled texture, while the charcoal leaves and slender stems appear darker and more tactile against the pale grey base. Its 510gsm weight gives the cloth a substantial handle suited to upholstery applications. Ferndown has a 137cm usable width, with a 39.5cm vertical repeat and 35cm horizontal repeat to consider when matching the branching design. The standard length is 40m.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-and-stone colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat, balancing the leafy pattern with warm timber and simple cream or oatmeal textiles.

Pair the cool charcoal foliage with pale timber, textured linens and understated grey upholstery for a calm, tailored interior.

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