About this fabric

Woven in 82% poly, 11% cotton and 7% linen, this 140cm-wide fabric has a practical, lightly textured handle with a visible geometric repeat of 23.3cm. The charcoal ground sits over a pale grey base, so the design reads cool rather than warm and feels clean against the eye. The intersecting lines create a small-scale lattice that brings structure without looking heavy, while the occasional dark dot adds contrast and breaks up the rhythm of the pattern. Care is listed as NQT1<, and the overall effect is a smart, versatile textile that feels polished but not fussy.

How to use it

Use Arlington Charcoal on an accent chair, banquette or cushions where the crisp lattice can add definition. It also works well in contemporary curtains or blinds if you want a restrained grey with a little graphic movement.

Pair with pale woods or crisp white for a sharp, tailored look.

Pairs well with

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