Misc Fabric

Spectrum - Electric is a deep charcoal-grey textile with a dense, softly napped surface. Its near-black depth is lifted by subtle tonal flecks and the irregular direction of the short texture.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a plain, heavily textured fabric in layered charcoal, graphite and near-black tones rather than a printed motif. Its dense, slightly fuzzy face gives the surface a soft, tactile appearance, with fine fibres catching the light unevenly across the swatch. The supplied record lists no composition, width, rub test or performance features for this colourway. The substantial-looking texture makes it best suited to upholstery classification.

How to use it

Use this cool, almost-black charcoal on a sofa, armchair or headboard when a room needs visual depth without a patterned surface. Pair it with pale timber, warm ivory or brushed metal to bring contrast to the dark tone.

Its deep charcoal tone and softly textured surface bring a tailored, quietly dramatic finish to upholstered seating.

Spectrum - Electric 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.
