About this fabric

Woven in 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester, this Manuel Canovas fabric has a dry, tactile handle and a clean, understated finish. The repeat is listed as V 0cm / H 0cm approx, which suits the plain, textural appearance visible here. In this colourway, the tone sits between brown and charcoal, with a softened depth that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. At 138cm approx wide and with fire code √BM, it is a versatile choice for tailored soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use Iris Ardoise where you want a dark neutral with more warmth than black: it will sharpen pale upholstery, timber, and stone without feeling harsh. The muted brown-black tone also lends itself to smart curtains or a full-room scheme with brass and walnut accents.

A dark, understated neutral that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Iris Ardoise 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.
