Marldon Charcoal is a close-woven plain with a finely speckled surface that reads as a deep, cool charcoal. The mix of lighter yarns gives it a soft, textural lift rather than a flat solid finish.

About this fabric

This colourway has a restrained charcoal base with tiny flecks of lighter fibre that soften the depth of the cloth and give it a quietly mottled appearance. The weave feels compact and slightly nubby, with the linen and cotton content helping to create the dry, textile character visible in the swatch. At approximately 145cm wide, it offers a practical width for both upholstery and drapery projects, and the zero repeat confirms its simple, all-over surface. The composition of 57% viscose, 21% cotton, 12% linen and 10% polyester gives it a balanced hand and a tailored look suited to contemporary interiors.

How to use it

Use Marldon Charcoal on an upholstered chair or sofa for a strong, grounded finish, or on curtains where the cool charcoal tone will sit neatly against pale walls. It pairs especially well with oak, blackened metal and warm neutrals.

A versatile charcoal with a subtle linen-look texture for tailored upholstery or understated curtains.

Pairs well with

Marldon Charcoal 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.
