Hammersmith Monochrome

Name: Hammersmith Monochrome
Brand: Kirkby Design

Hammersmith Monochrome features a warm cream ground punctuated by neat black and soft grey bars. Its ordered repeat has a clean, graphic quality, while the visible woven texture keeps the surface tactile rather than stark.

About this fabric

The small-scale pattern alternates paired horizontal dashes with upright bars, creating a measured geometric rhythm across the swatch. Black marks provide the strongest contrast, while the softer grey bars add depth without disturbing the restrained monochrome palette. The close, even woven face gives this textile a versatile mid-weight appearance for upholstery or drapery. The supplied record notes no performance features and provides no further specification data.

How to use it

Use the warm cream base to soften a room with black metal, pale timber or charcoal upholstery, allowing the small-scale bars to add graphic definition without dominating. It would also bring quiet structure to relaxed curtains or blinds in a tonal neutral scheme.

A crisp monochrome geometric weave that brings subtle graphic rhythm to upholstery or drapery.

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