Faze Fabric

Faze Slate is a deep, cool blue-grey textile with a near-charcoal cast. Its plain surface is enlivened by very subtle tonal variation, giving the swatch depth without a visible pattern.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a muted slate rather than a bright navy, with blue showing through the dark grey ground. Fine vertical and cloudy shifts across the surface create a restrained woven texture, while the matte finish keeps the shade understated. As a fabric rather than a wallpaper, this colourway is best considered for upholstery where its dense-looking, even appearance can provide a calm, tailored foundation.

How to use it

Use Faze Slate on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard when a room needs a cool, grounded anchor. Its charcoal depth works particularly well with chalky whites, pale oak, smoked glass and softly aged metallics.

Its cool, near-charcoal slate tone brings quiet depth to contemporary upholstery and pairs naturally with pale timber, stone and brushed metal.

Faze 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.
