Gatsby Charcoal brings a cool, deep grey ground to the Lusso collection, crossed by pale angular arches and fine dotted inner outlines. The restrained contrast gives the pattern a precise, architectural presence.

About this fabric

The charcoal background has a softly textured, matte appearance, while the pale grey angular bands catch the light more clearly across the surface. Repeated elongated arch forms are edged with delicate dotted detailing, creating depth without introducing a busy colour contrast. The pattern measures 23.5cm vertically by 16.3cm horizontally, giving it a clear medium-scale rhythm on upholstery and window treatments. With a usable width of 137cm and a weight of 199gsm, this fabric offers a versatile mid-weight option for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use Gatsby Charcoal to bring cool definition to a contemporary chair, headboard or full-length curtain, especially alongside chalky greys, black accents and brushed metal. Its deep charcoal tone also gives pale timber and warm lighting a sharper, more graphic backdrop.

Pair the cool charcoal ground with pale grey upholstery, curtains or accents for a crisp architectural look.

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.
