About this fabric

The swatch shows a fine diagonal twill, with alternating dark and lighter threads creating a subtly marked surface rather than a flat solid. Its slate tone sits between blue-grey and charcoal, reading cool and composed while retaining visible depth at close range. Catalogued as a fabric, Queensway Slate is suitable for upholstery or drapery based on its versatile-looking woven handle. The supplied record lists no performance features for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Queensway Slate to temper pale stone, chalk or warm timber schemes, where its cool blue-grey depth can anchor a room without introducing a strong pattern. The fine twill also works well alongside brushed metal and textured neutrals.

The cool slate tone and fine diagonal texture bring understated depth to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Queensway 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.
