Linara Thunder

Linara Thunder appears as a deep charcoal grey with a subtly warm, earthy cast rather than a stark black. Its close, even weave gives the surface a quiet texture that becomes more visible under the light.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a finely woven plain surface with delicate tonal variation across the charcoal-grey ground. Small shifts between grey and brown-grey threads keep the shade from looking flat, while the tight weave gives it a composed, tailored character. Supplied information catalogues this as a fabric, with no further composition, width or performance specification provided. The understated texture makes the colourway read as calm and substantial without introducing a visible motif.

How to use it

Use Thunder to bring depth to a neutral room, particularly on a tailored sofa, dining chair or simple blind. Its cool charcoal tone pairs naturally with pale stone, weathered timber and soft off-whites, while warmer metals can draw out its subtle brown-grey cast.

A cool, deep grey with a finely textured surface that suits tailored upholstery and understated window treatments.

Pairs well with

Linara Thunder 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.
