Swish FR Slate

Palazzo FR Fabric

Swish FR Slate is a cool, grounded grey with a softly mottled surface that gives the plain cloth quiet depth. The finish reads smooth and tailored rather than shiny, with a subtle velvety cast in the light.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a deep slate grey range, with fine tonal flecking that keeps the surface from looking flat. Woven in 100% polyester, it measures 140cm wide and has no pattern repeat, making it an easy choice for cut pieces and clean-lined upholstery. The cloth has a restrained, low-contrast texture that suits modern interiors where you want the colour to feel architectural rather than decorative. Care instructions are listed as 1<NTQ.

How to use it

Use Swish FR Slate on a sofa, bench or headboard where its cool charcoal-grey tone can anchor lighter walls and pale wood. It also pairs well with brushed metal, black accents and crisp white linens for a sharp, urban look.

A sleek slate tone that works beautifully on tailored seating and crisp contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

Swish FR Slate 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.
