About this fabric

The large checks alternate near-black charcoal, cool mid-grey and soft white, creating a high-contrast colourway with a composed, tailored mood. A fine visible weave softens the geometry and adds subtle tonal variation across the grey and charcoal areas. The supplied information lists this as a fabric from Romo’s Kemble collection, with no composition, width, rub test or performance features provided.

How to use it

Use Kemble Charcoal to give a contemporary sofa, armchair or dining seat a strong architectural outline, then balance its cool monochrome palette with warm timber, natural leather or softly coloured accessories.

The deep charcoal and grey check brings tailored structure to sofas, dining chairs and occasional upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kemble 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.
