Malvolio Shark is shown here as a deep charcoal-toned plain with a softly mottled, suede-like surface. The colour reads cool and shadowy, with lighter grey flecks that lift the pile in the light.

About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this fabric has a substantial 508gsm handle and a generous 148cm width, making it a practical choice for upholstery as well as curtains and blinds. The surface visible in the swatch is dark grey rather than jet black, with a subtle heathered effect that gives the colourway depth without any pattern repeat. Its 70,000 Martindale rating points to strong durability, while the plain construction keeps the look clean and versatile. Dry clean only care and do not iron finish suit a fabric that is meant to hold its neat, tailored appearance.

How to use it

Pair this charcoal shade with pale oak, brushed steel and crisp white for a modern contrast, or layer it with other greys and graphite tones for a more cocooning scheme. It works particularly well on structured seating and heavy curtains where the dark, muted finish can anchor the room.

Use for tailored upholstery or dim-out soft furnishings with a dark, understated finish.

Pairs well with

Malvolio Shark 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.
