Name: Nova Fr Charcoal
Brand: Kirkby Design

Nova Fr Charcoal presents a deep charcoal-grey surface with subtle tonal variation across the cloth. Its softly textured finish reads dark and understated, with just enough sheen to reveal the nap as the light moves.

About this fabric

The visible surface is densely even but not flat, showing a fine mottled texture that shifts gently between charcoal and near-black. A restrained low sheen catches across parts of the swatch, giving the dark colour depth without making it glossy. This is a textile fabric suitable for upholstery based on its substantial-looking, close surface. No further specification data is supplied for this colourway, so composition, width and testing details are not stated.

How to use it

Use the cool, near-black charcoal tone on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where it can anchor lighter walls and natural timber. Pair it with warm ivory, putty or aged metal accents to soften its depth while preserving the smart, tailored mood.

Use this deep charcoal shade to bring quiet depth and a tailored feel to upholstered seating.

Nova Fr Charcoal 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.
