About this fabric

The close-up shows a fine, even weave with subtle tonal variation rather than a printed or woven motif, so the pattern repeat is 0 cm vertically and horizontally. At 290 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight textile that can work for both upholstery and drapery. The 140 cm usable width supports practical cutting, while the standard length is 40 m. Slate blue-grey fibres catch the light gently, creating depth without making the surface appear shiny.

How to use it

Use Highlander Slate to bring a cool, composed note to an armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and deeper charcoal accents. Its quiet plain texture also makes it effective for relaxed full-length curtains where a softly textured blue-grey is preferred over a patterned cloth.

The cool slate blue-grey tone and fine woven texture suit tailored upholstery, cushions and understated curtains.

Pairs well with

Highlander Slate is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
