About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, Beachcomber Charcoal has a clean, undecorated stripe with a 0cm pattern repeat. The colourway pairs deep charcoal bands with softer taupe and cream stripes, creating a balanced contrast that feels cooler and more restrained than a warmer neutral stripe. In the image, the darker vertical lines read sharp against the paler ground, while the woven texture keeps the finish from feeling flat. It is a versatile fabric for interiors that want structure without excess pattern.

How to use it

Use this charcoal stripe on chairs, cushions or relaxed blinds where the vertical direction can add height and rhythm. It works especially well with pale timber, putty walls and other soft neutrals.

A versatile charcoal stripe that feels crisp, tailored and easy to layer into classic interiors.

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