Oriel Charcoal

Oriel Charcoal presents a deep, almost blackened charcoal grey with very little colour variation. A fine, low-contrast surface texture keeps the swatch from appearing completely flat.

About this fabric

The image shows a near-solid charcoal textile with subtle vertical tonal movement and a softly woven appearance. Its cool, muted depth gives the colour a composed, tailored feel rather than a stark black finish. The restrained texture catches light gently, revealing just enough variation to add dimension across larger upholstered forms. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data is supplied for this catalogued fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended project.

How to use it

Use Oriel Charcoal on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its deep grey tone can anchor a room. Pair it with pale stone, aged timber or brushed metal to bring out the quiet tonal texture without lightening its strong, grounded character.

Its deep charcoal tone and quietly textured surface suit tailored upholstery, especially with warm timber or lighter neutrals.

Pairs well with

Oriel Charcoal 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.
