About this fabric

This Santos FR colourway is woven in 72% polyester and 28% cotton, with a 140cm width and a 12cm pattern repeat. The charcoal motif sits slightly softened against the pale background, so the contrast reads clean but not harsh. Visually, the cloth has a practical mid-weight appearance with a textured surface that suggests easy use for both upholstery and drapery. The small-scale repeating pattern gives the fabric a structured rhythm that works well in a room without overwhelming it.

How to use it

Use this charcoal and ecru palette to bring definition to neutral seating, or pair it with pale painted wood and brushed metal for a smart, contemporary finish. It also works well in curtains where you want pattern without strong colour, especially in light-filled schemes.

A crisp charcoal-on-ecru geometric that reads tailored and versatile in either upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

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