About this fabric

This plain from the Soulful collection by J Brown is woven in 100% Recycled Polyester and specified for Heavy Domestic use, with a Martindale rating of 40,000. In this inkwell colourway, the surface reads as a deep blue-black with lighter blue movement running through the weave, so it feels dimensional rather than flat. The low, horizontal texture gives the fabric a gently worn, tactile character that suits confident upholstery. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and should be professionally dry cleaned in situ.

How to use it

Use Soulful Inkwell on an armchair, banquette or ottoman where its deep blue tone can anchor the room. It pairs well with warm woods, brass accents and pale neutrals for contrast.

A richly textured blue that adds depth to modern seating and tailored soft furnishings.

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.
