Metropolitan Petrol

Metropolitan Petrol has a deep petrol-teal ground animated by staggered rectangular blocks in charcoal, black, mustard, cream and pale grey. Its tightly organised, pixel-like geometry creates a richly layered impression across the swatch.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Metropolitan Petrol is visibly woven with a compact, tactile surface rather than a smooth printed finish. The dominant petrol teal and charcoal tones give the design a cool, grounded depth, while mustard, cream and pale grey blocks introduce sharp flashes of contrast. Short vertical bars and smaller horizontal blocks form an irregular geometric rhythm, making the pattern feel architectural and distinctly contemporary.

How to use it

Use this deep petrol colourway on a statement chair, ottoman or sofa where its cool dark ground can provide depth. Echo the mustard accents with warm timber, ochre accessories or aged brass, while cream details will keep the scheme balanced.

Use the deep petrol ground to anchor contemporary upholstery, pairing its mustard and cream accents with warm wood or brushed metal.

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