About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, Sett Lake presents a dark charcoal-grey ground with a compact geometric check made from alternating square-like blocks. The surface appears finely textured, with diagonal or crosshatched marks that soften the contrast between the near-black and slate-grey sections. Its cool, shadowed tone gives the pattern a deep architectural presence, while the medium-scale repeat remains legible rather than loud.

How to use it

Use this dark, blue-leaning charcoal colourway to create a considered backdrop behind pale upholstery, soft neutrals and warm timber. Its close-set check also suits a study, dining room or other space where a graphic but restrained wall finish is wanted.

Pair the cool charcoal check with pale upholstery and warm timber for a balanced, architectural scheme.

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