About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, this Carbon colourway reads as a cool, near-black charcoal rather than a flat true black. The close, low-contrast mottling creates a softly brushed appearance, with slightly lighter graphite notes emerging across the surface. Its dense-looking face and subdued tonal movement give the swatch a smart, grounded character for upholstered forms. No additional composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its near-black tone can anchor a room without the harder look of a completely uniform black. Pair it with warm timber, chalky neutrals or brushed metal to bring out the subtle graphite variation.

Crush Fr Easyclean Carbon 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.
