Snug FR Slate

Name: Snug FR Slate
Brand: Fryett's Fabrics

Snug FR Slate is a deep, cool grey with a restrained charcoal cast and a softly brushed-looking surface. The colour reads even and muted, with just enough variation in the weave to keep the cloth from looking flat.

About this fabric

Snug FR Slate from the Reform FR collection by Fryett's Fabrics has a calm charcoal-slate appearance that sits firmly in the cooler end of grey. No further specification data was supplied, so the page is grounded in the visible cloth itself: a plain, closely woven fabric with a soft, low-sheen finish and a dense, upholstery-friendly look. The surface catches light gently rather than shining, which gives the colour a smoky depth and a subtle texture. Its tone feels modern and composed, making it an easy choice where a dark neutral is wanted without the hard edge of black.

How to use it

Use this slate shade on sofas, dining chairs or banquettes where a disciplined, architectural finish is needed. It pairs neatly with pale woods, off-whites and brushed metal accents, letting the cool grey settle into the room rather than dominate it.

A cool charcoal that gives a tailored, understated finish on clean-lined seating.

Pairs well with

Snug 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.
