About this fabric

This colourway reads as a very deep, cool navy, with shadowed areas approaching black and only subtle blue lifting through the surface. Fine cloudy flecks and tonal variation prevent the cloth from looking completely flat, creating a quiet, velvety-looking depth without obvious sheen. Its dense, heavy-looking appearance makes it best suited to upholstery. No performance features are noted in the supplied data for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the near-black navy on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool depth can anchor a room. Pair it with pale stone, chalky grey or aged timber to bring out the restrained blue variation in the weave.

A deep, cool navy with subdued tonal texture, suited to tailored upholstery where a dark, quietly dimensional finish is wanted.

Pairs well with

Montrose Melton Navy 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.
