Patina Slate

Name: Patina Slate
Brand: Mark Alexander

Patina Slate is a cool, blue-leaning grey with a finely woven surface that gives the colour a softly textured, dimensional appearance. Its restrained tone reads calm and architectural rather than warm or earthy.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense, even weave made from closely crossed threads, creating a delicate grid-like texture across the surface. Slate grey is layered with faint blue and charcoal tonal variation, so the colour shifts subtly as the light catches the weave. The quiet, non-directional surface keeps the design understated while adding more depth than a flat solid cloth. No further composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Patina Slate with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a cool contemporary scheme, or use it to temper stronger navy and petrol accents. Its fine texture suits tailored upholstery as well as clean-lined curtains.

Use this cool slate tone to bring quiet definition to tailored seating, cushions or softly structured curtains.

Patina Slate 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.
