Smooth Slate

Smooth Iii Fabric

Smooth Slate is a deep, cool grey with a near-charcoal depth. Its close-up surface appears calm and even, with soft tonal variation that keeps the plain colour from looking flat.

About this fabric

This colourway presents a restrained slate grey, darker than a mid-grey and softened by faint cloudy variation across the surface. The close-up shows a smooth, low-contrast textile texture rather than a visible printed motif, giving it a clean and tailored appearance. Its cool tone reads quietly against the image background, with very little sheen or colour shift. No composition, width, rub-test or usage specification has been supplied for this colourway, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use Smooth Slate where a room needs a cool, near-charcoal anchor without introducing a strong pattern. It would suit tailored seating alongside pale stone, chalky white or muted blue-grey accents.

A cool, near-charcoal neutral with a softly textured finish for tailored upholstery.

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.
