Northern Petrol

Northern Petrol combines a deep petrol-blue ground with a disciplined grid of pale grey blocks and narrow ochre bars. Its repeated geometry has a cool, architectural presence, while the woven surface gives the colour subtle depth.

About this fabric

The dominant petrol tone is dark, cool and saturated, creating a strong backdrop for the quieter grey elements. Pale grey horizontal bands and square blocks form a measured lattice across the design, with slim ochre-gold vertical bars adding warmth and contrast. Fine vertical striations are visible through the coloured areas, giving the fabric a tactile woven character rather than a flat printed appearance. The medium-scale repeat reads clearly across an upholstered surface and gives chairs, benches or sofas a smart graphic finish.

How to use it

Pair Northern Petrol with charcoal, ink blue and brushed metal for a cool modern scheme, or pick out its ochre bars with warm timber and tobacco leather. Its deep blue-green ground works particularly well on structured seating where the geometric repeat can remain visible.

Use this structured petrol, grey and ochre design to give upholstered seating a crisp contemporary character.

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