BOL3262 is a smart, medium-scale check woven in charcoal grey, soft cream and muted taupe. Its close flat weave gives the pattern a softly mottled, tactile appearance rather than a sharp printed finish.

About this fabric

The design combines broad charcoal-grey bands with warm cream and taupe blocks, while diagonal yarns create the broken, textured edges visible across the check. BOL3262 is a 100% polyester flat weave with a 138cm width, making it a practical choice for upholstered furniture. It is graded for both contract and domestic upholstery and is machine washable for straightforward aftercare. The fabric has Domestic Cig & Match GreenFR® flame retardancy and can be treated to contract grade.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-and-cream colourway on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its structured check can anchor an otherwise warm neutral scheme. Pair it with ivory, stone and dark timber to bring out the contrast between the pale blocks and deeper grey bands.

Use the charcoal-and-cream check on tailored seating, pairing it with warm neutrals and dark wood.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside BOL3262 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.
