About this fabric

The pale slate-grey ground is crossed by raised, lighter grey lines that form irregular rectangular and brick-like outlines across the cloth. The woven texture catches the light gently, creating subtle tonal depth without making the motif appear harsh. At 668gsm, Kupka Slate has a substantial weight suited to upholstery. It has a 140cm usable width, a 35m standard length and a pattern repeat of 31.1cm vertically by 34.3cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use this cool slate-grey colourway on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its low-contrast geometry can add structure without overwhelming the room. Combine it with warm white, pale grey and light natural wood to balance its cooler tone.

Pair this cool slate-grey upholstery with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm, architectural scheme.

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