About this fabric

The surface is formed from small rectangular blocks and short horizontal bars, creating a regular basket-like pattern across the swatch. The charcoal base gives this colourway a cool, shaded depth, while the lighter yarns catch the light as crisp flecks. Its dense, structured appearance makes it best suited to upholstery rather than fluid drapery. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Kelso Dark Grey on a tailored armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its architectural check can reinforce clean lines. Pair the cool charcoal tone with pale timber, brushed metal or warm ivory textiles to soften the contrast.

A dense, structured weave with a tailored charcoal check for neat upholstery schemes.

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