About this fabric

This catalogued fabric reads as a substantial melton-style textile, with a compact, slightly fleecy surface visible throughout the swatch. Its charcoal-black colour is softened by fine grey-black variation, giving the shade depth instead of a flat solid appearance. The low, velvety nap catches the light unevenly, producing a quiet change in tone across the surface. With no performance features noted in the supplied specification, its strongest visual application is tailored upholstery where its dark, weighty character can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use Montrose Melton Black on a structured armchair, sofa or ottoman where its charcoal depth can anchor lighter walls and natural timber. Pair it with warm metal, pale stone or textured grey accents to keep the near-black tone from feeling stark.

Use this deep charcoal-black melton to give upholstered seating a grounded, tailored finish.

Pairs well with

Montrose Melton Black 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.
