About this fabric

This 100% polyester fabric has a 143cm width and a 20cm pattern repeat, making the small geometric layout easy to work into upholstered pieces. The swatch reads as a cool charcoal grey pattern set against a warmer taupe ground, so the contrast feels defined without looking harsh. Its woven texture gives the diamonds a crisp, slightly textured edge rather than a flat print effect. The overall impression is smart and restrained, with enough pattern to add interest while staying quiet in tone. Care instructions are listed as NQT8<.

How to use it

Use Quebec Charcoal on a sofa, dining chair or bench where the small-scale diamond pattern can add structure without dominating the room. It pairs well with pale timber, stone and soft neutrals, letting the charcoal detail sharpen a calm, layered scheme.

A muted charcoal diamond weave that brings subtle pattern and depth to tailored upholstery or relaxed cushions.

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