Carrera Charcoal

Leon Fabric

Carrera Charcoal is a deep, muted grey with a soft, graphite cast that reads calm and contemporary on the cloth. The close plain weave gives the surface a subtle, almost brushed visual texture rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, this Leon collection fabric has no pattern repeat, making the colour and texture the focus. Carrera Charcoal sits in a dark charcoal register with a cool, slightly smoky undertone that softens the depth of the shade. In the image, the fine weave catches light just enough to reveal a faint linear grain across the surface, adding quiet movement without any visible motif. The overall effect is restrained and smart, with a practical mid-weight look suited to both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Carrera Charcoal to ground lighter woods, pale plaster walls or warm metallic accents, where its cool depth will add contrast without feeling harsh. It is especially effective on tailored seating, relaxed curtains or simple Roman blinds in rooms that need a sharper, more architectural edge.

A deep charcoal cotton that feels tailored and quietly versatile.

Pairs well with

Carrera Charcoal 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.
