Name: Speck Monochrome
Brand: Kirkby Design

Speck Monochrome has a softly monochrome character, combining an ivory ground with irregular charcoal flecks. Its thick, raised surface gives the swatch a distinctly tactile, softly nubby appearance.

About this fabric

The fabric is built from chunky, looped yarns that create a plush, uneven surface, while scattered charcoal markings break up the ivory base. The tonal contrast is muted rather than stark, giving the colourway a warm, gently weathered depth. The swatch is shown over a rounded upholstered form, highlighting the fabric’s substantial-looking handle and softly sculptural texture. It is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this ivory-and-charcoal colourway on an occasional chair, footstool or relaxed sofa, where its flecked surface can sit comfortably with warm wood, stone and soft grey accents.

Use this softly monochrome bouclé on relaxed seating, pairing its ivory ground with charcoal and warm timber.

Speck Monochrome is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
