Carbery Slate has a low-key, horizontal striation that gives the surface a quietly tailored look. The colour reads as a muted slate grey with a subtle olive undertone and a softly mottled finish.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a fine, linen-rich texture with narrow horizontal bands and a gently slubbed surface that catches the light without shine. The slate tone is cool and restrained, but the woven mix softens it with an earthy, slightly green cast rather than a hard blue-grey. At approx. 140cm wide, and with a composition of 44% viscose, 28% linen, 24% cotton and 4% polyester, it feels like a versatile upholstery or curtain cloth for schemes that need calm depth. The repeat is vertical 0cm / horizontal 0cm approx., so the texture reads as a continuous weave rather than a patterned repeat. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CH are also noted for specification reference.

How to use it

Use Carbery Slate on an upholstered armchair, sofa or window treatment where you want a grounded neutral with more character than a plain grey. It works especially well alongside chalky whites, smoked oak and muted green accents.

A cool, understated slate that pairs well with dark timber, pale linen and brushed metal finishes.

Pairs well with

Carbery 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.
