Veranda Hopsack Midnight

Veranda Hopsack Midnight appears as a near-black charcoal ground, softened by the fine tonal variation of its woven surface. The close-up reveals a compact hopsack texture rather than a printed motif, giving the colour quiet depth.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, almost-black charcoal, with tiny shifts between darker and slightly lighter threads visible across the surface. Its dense, small-scale weave has a dry, textile-rich texture that catches the light subtly without becoming glossy. The supplied record lists no composition, width or performance features for this fabric, so its suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Pair the near-black charcoal tone with pale timber, chalky walls or warm metal accents to prevent the upholstery from feeling flat. Its restrained hopsack texture also works well on tailored seating where a plain black would appear too stark.

Use this deep charcoal weave to give sofas, chairs and headboards a tailored, quietly architectural finish.

Veranda Hopsack 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.
