About this fabric

This substantial 374gsm fabric has a visible textile grain beneath the softly brushed-looking leaf imagery. The design combines broad, shaded leaves with smaller clustered foliage, moving from near-black charcoal through smoky grey into parchment cream. Its 140cm usable width matches the 140cm horizontal repeat, while the vertical repeat is 67.5cm. With 26.4 threads per centimetre, the cloth has a considered, substantial presence suited to upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use this colourway on an accent chair, headboard or compact sofa where the charcoal foliage can provide depth without making the room feel stark. Pair it with warm parchment, weathered timber and muted stone tones to draw out the print’s softer, earthy side.

A richly shaded charcoal-and-parchment leaf design for statement upholstery with a considered, tonal finish.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Grounded Black Earth/Parchment 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.
