Elmer Charcoal
Kemble Fabric
Elmer Charcoal presents a tightly spaced check in deep charcoal and soft ivory, creating a clear monochrome rhythm across the cloth. Its even surface gives the colourway a neat, graphic character.

About this fabric
The small-scale check alternates charcoal and ivory squares, with the pale ground bringing definition to the darker tone without making the fabric feel stark. The closely arranged pattern appears finely woven and consistent across the swatch, while the charcoal reads as a cool, softened grey rather than a flat black. No additional specification data is supplied for composition, width, usage or performance, so suitability here is judged from the visible mid-weight-looking weave. The balanced scale gives it a tailored, orderly presence.
How to use it
Use the cool charcoal check to sharpen an ivory, grey or timber-toned scheme, particularly on a structured chair, bench cushion or simple blind. Its small repeat can also add quiet pattern to a room without dominating larger furnishings.
A crisp charcoal-and-ivory check for tailored upholstery, cushions or neat window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Elmer Charcoal without fighting it. 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.
