Heir Fabric

Regal Monochrome pairs a warm cream ground with closely spaced charcoal checks, creating a finely scaled monochrome textile with a quietly graphic character. Its dense woven surface gives the swatch a tactile, softly dimensional appearance.

About this fabric

The pattern is formed from tiny alternating blocks rather than broad lines, so the contrast reads as a subtle all-over texture from a distance and a precise check up close. Cream remains the dominant tone, while the charcoal marks add cool definition without making the cloth feel stark or high-contrast. The tightly packed weave appears compact and stable, making this colourway a natural choice for tailored upholstery. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the warm cream base to soften dark timber or black-painted furniture, allowing the charcoal micro-check to echo metal details and linear joinery. It would suit a structured armchair, dining seat or neat headboard where its small scale can be appreciated.

The crisp cream-and-charcoal micro-check brings graphic definition to tailored upholstery while keeping the overall look restrained.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Regal Monochrome without fighting it. 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.
