About this fabric

The colour sits between ink blue and charcoal, giving the plain surface a particularly deep and restrained appearance. A fine, low-contrast weave is visible across the swatch, adding texture without introducing a pattern or sheen. Its dark, even field makes this colourway suitable for upholstery or drapery where a calm, architectural backdrop is wanted. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Town Midnight to ground a room with its cool, almost-black blue tone: pair it with pale stone, chalky neutrals or warm timber to prevent the scheme from feeling flat. It is especially effective on tailored upholstery or full-length curtains where its subtle weave can read as texture rather than pattern.

A near-black blue plain weave that brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Town 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.
