About this fabric

The close weave creates a delicate grid across the charcoal surface, giving the fabric visible texture without introducing a printed motif. In the image, the shade reads darker at first glance, while the fine threads catch the light with muted blue-green highlights. As a catalogued fabric with no performance features noted, its principal character here is the balance of depth, texture and subtle colour movement.

How to use it

Use Sulis Shadow to give an armchair, sofa or full-length curtain a grounded charcoal-blue presence. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and softly weathered green accents to draw out its cool, muted undertone.

A deep, cool-toned woven neutral that brings quiet definition to upholstery, curtains and layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Sulis Shadow 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.
