About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Hackney Night Shadow has a tightly woven appearance that reads as a versatile mid-weight for upholstery or drapery. The colour sits between slate blue and charcoal grey, with a softened, shadowed quality rather than a bright navy finish. Fine tonal variation across the weave catches the light gently, keeping the surface from appearing flat. Its restrained texture and dark blue-grey tone create a smart, understated look.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway on a sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where a room needs depth without strong pattern. Pair it with chalky neutrals, smoked timber and brushed metal to bring out its charcoal cast.

A deep blue-grey woven ground with a charcoal cast, bringing quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and tonal schemes.

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.
