Name: Leno - Slate
Brand: Moons

Misc Fabric

Leno - Slate has a weathered blue-grey ground, softened by pale threads that form a fine, irregular check across the surface. Its close weave gives the colour a quiet, misted depth rather than a flat block of slate.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven from cool slate blue-grey yarns crossed by pale grey and cream threads, creating a tactile crosshatch effect. The small-scale horizontal and vertical texture reads as a softly checked surface, with darker flecks adding gentle variation throughout. Its nubby, substantial appearance is well suited to upholstery, while no performance features are noted in the supplied catalogue information. As light moves across the uneven weave, the pale threads lift the slate ground and give it a softly weathered finish.

How to use it

Use this cool slate colourway to upholster a relaxed armchair, sofa or ottoman, especially alongside chalky whites, pale timber and other blue-grey tones. Its fine checked texture can also temper smoother, more formal fabrics in the same room.

The cool slate tone and softly checked weave suit relaxed upholstery on sofas, occasional chairs and ottomans.

Leno - 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.
