About this fabric
Catalogued as Velvet, Frieda Slate has a dense-looking, plain surface with no visible motif or pattern. The shade sits between charcoal and slate grey, reading almost black in the darkest areas while revealing a softer graphite tone where the light catches the pile. Gentle horizontal tonal variation across the swatch gives the colour depth without making it appear mottled or busy. With no performance features noted, this is a particularly atmospheric choice when the velvet’s rich texture is intended to lead the scheme.
How to use it
Use Frieda Slate on a tailored sofa, armchair or headboard in a room with pale stone, smoky grey or warm timber accents; its cool charcoal tone works especially well as a grounding contrast.
A deep, cool slate velvet that brings a quietly dramatic finish to upholstered seating and headboards.

Frieda Slate 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.
