Mineral Ink

Name: Mineral Ink
Brand: Kirkby Design

Mineral Ink is a deep blue-grey textile with the cool, shadowed character of slate or weathered mineral. Its close woven surface is gently varied, giving the plain ground visible depth without a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

Across the swatch, fine blue-grey and charcoal threads create a softly irregular, crosshatched texture. The dark mineral tone reads cool and subdued, while intermittent lighter threads prevent the surface from appearing flat or solid black. Its dense-looking woven construction makes this colourway particularly well suited to upholstery where a quiet, tailored finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Mineral Ink on a contemporary sofa, armchair or dining seat, pairing its cool blue-grey depth with pale timber, brushed metal and chalky neutrals. It also works as a grounding upholstery shade beside softer blue, stone or warm off-white accents.

Its mineral-toned blue-grey ground and subtly variegated weave bring quiet depth to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Mineral Ink 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.
