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.

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.
