Hudson Charcoal is a tightly woven neutral with a soft, pebble-like surface and a quietly speckled finish. Its charcoal reading is softened by warmer taupe and beige threads, giving the cloth a calm, measured look.

About this fabric

Woven in 65% cotton, 23% polyester and 12% linen, Hudson Charcoal has a practical, textile feel with a refined matte surface. The 142cm width and non-directional repeat, at V 0cm / H 0cm approx, make it straightforward to cut and use across furniture and furnishing projects. In this colourway the weave reads as a warm charcoal taupe rather than a hard grey, with tiny lighter flecks that lift the surface. The overall effect is understated and smart, with enough texture to keep the shade from feeling flat.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored armchair, banquette or headboard where the subtle weave can add depth without dominating the room. It pairs especially well with limestone, smoked oak and muted ink tones for a calm, contemporary scheme.

A subtle neutral that works beautifully across upholstery and relaxed drapery schemes.

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.
