About this fabric

The colourway pairs a clean ivory background with sharply defined black zigzags, creating a cool, high-contrast monochrome effect. Within each chevron, slender linear marks and small triangular breaks give the pattern a more intricate rhythm than a simple stripe. A visible square grid runs across the ground, lending the textile a structured woven appearance and softening the starkness of the black motif. No performance features are noted in the supplied information for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Central Monochrome where a room needs confident black-and-ivory definition, such as a statement chair, tailored cushion or geometric blind. Balance its strong repeat with plain warm neutrals and natural timber so the ivory ground does not feel overly stark.

Use the crisp monochrome chevron to bring graphic definition to upholstered seating, cushions or structured window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Central 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.
