Darwin Midnight
Cleo FabricJ0249-02
Darwin Midnight is a tightly textured small-scale fabric in a cool, dark blue ground with a lightly mottled, almost peppered surface. The tiny dark spots and softer grey-blue background give it a quietly structured look rather than a flat plain.

About this fabric
This colourway reads as a deep midnight blue, softened by a pale grey-blue ground that lifts the overall effect and keeps it from feeling too heavy. The design has a compact, granular texture that gives the surface visual movement, and the repeated pattern sits within a V 16cm / H 18cm approx repeat. Woven in 44% Viscose, 32% Cotton and 24% Polyester, it has the look of a smart everyday fabric with a neat handle and enough substance for either curtains or upholstery. The 144cm approx width makes it practical for a range of domestic schemes, while the dark tonal contrast adds definition without becoming bold.
How to use it
Use Darwin Midnight on a tailored armchair, ottoman or cushions where the deep blue can anchor a room. It also works well as curtains in a scheme with pale plaster, oak or brushed metal, letting the peppered texture add depth rather than pattern noise.
A refined dark blue with a peppered texture that works well on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

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