Hampstead Noir

Name: Hampstead Noir
Brand: Kirkby Design

Hampstead Noir is a deep charcoal-brown textile with a close, finely grained weave. Small pale flecks break across the near-black ground, giving the surface subtle movement without introducing a formal motif.

About this fabric

The tightly packed weave combines charcoal, brown-grey and occasional pale threads, creating a softly mottled finish rather than a flat black. Its minute flecks are irregularly distributed, so the surface shifts gently as the light catches individual yarns. The cloth reads as a firm, upholstery-suited weave with a tactile, quietly rugged character. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair Hampstead Noir with warm timber, aged leather and chalky neutrals to balance its cool, shadowed depth. It is especially effective on sofas, occasional chairs and dining seating where the flecked texture can be seen at close range.

Use this deep charcoal-brown weave to bring quiet depth and tactile contrast to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Hampstead Noir 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.
