About this fabric

Short, raised loops create a dense, nubby face, while irregular horizontal bands lend the surface quiet movement. The colour shifts between graphite depth and cooler grey flecks as the light catches the texture. Mackerel is catalogued as Carpet, and its substantial-looking construction makes it a natural upholstery choice. The overall effect is tactile and understated rather than flat or uniform.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal blue-grey on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its looped surface can add depth to a restrained scheme. Pair it with pale stone, weathered timber or soft blue-grey accents to bring out its cooler flecks.

A dense charcoal blue-grey texture that brings quiet depth to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

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.
