Misc Fabric

Spectrum - Cadet appears as a deep charcoal grey, almost black in the darker areas, with fine cloudy mottling across the surface. Its close texture keeps the colour from reading flat, giving the swatch a quiet, softly brushed depth.

About this fabric

The dense-looking surface is evenly coloured but subtly varied, with faint lighter fibres breaking through the charcoal ground. This is a plain fabric rather than a patterned design, so its visual interest comes from the close, softly mottled texture. It is catalogued as a Fabric in the Misc collection by Moons, with no performance features noted in the supplied information. The cool, near-black tone gives the colourway a smart and restrained character for upholstery.

How to use it

Use Cadet on a tailored sofa, armchair or headboard where its cool charcoal tone can anchor pale timber, warm neutrals or softly contrasting grey textiles. Its subtle surface variation will add depth without introducing a visible motif.

Use this deep charcoal tone to bring a quiet, tailored depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Spectrum - Cadet 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.
