About this fabric

The close-up shows a dark charcoal-grey ground rather than a flat black, with subtle lighter fibres dispersed throughout the woven surface. Its fine, irregular texture catches the light in small points, creating a restrained, softly grainy finish. With no further specification data supplied, this fabric is best considered visually for upholstery applications where its depth and texture can anchor a scheme. The near-monochrome colouring gives it a smart, understated presence without introducing a separate motif.

How to use it

Use Alvorada Midnight on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its cool charcoal tone can balance pale woods, warm metals and chalky neutrals. Layer it with lighter grey textiles to bring out the subtle flecking without losing the scheme’s calm depth.

Use this cool, deep charcoal textile to ground rooms with pale timber, stone or softly coloured upholstery.

Alvorada Midnight 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.
