About this fabric

This fabric from the Hamlin collection by Colefax and Fowler is woven in a balanced blend of 25% Linen, 22% Cotton, 21% Viscose, 16% Polyester, 11% Wool and 5% Polyamide, with a width of approximately 143cm and a vertical repeat of 0cm / horizontal repeat of approximately 1cm. The close herringbone reads as a restrained, small-scale pattern rather than a bold stripe, which suits the calm, even character of the slate colourway. Its cool grey tone sits between soft charcoal and weathered pebble, with the weave giving the surface a slightly matte, lightly textural finish. The construction feels versatile enough for upholstery or drapery, and the fire code √CH adds useful reassurance for interior projects.

How to use it

Use Tristram Slate on a pared-back sofa, tailored armchair or Roman blind where you want a clean, architectural grey. It pairs neatly with pale oak, chalk whites and deeper navy or ink accents.

A neat slate herringbone that feels tailored and works well across classic interiors.

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