Nola Smoke

Alonso FabricCCF0397-14

Nola Smoke has a cool blue-grey ground with charcoal, branching texture that shifts gently across the surface. Its softly mottled appearance gives the colourway a dusky, mineral depth rather than a flat grey finish.

About this fabric

This 304gsm fabric has a substantial mid-weight presence, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. The visible surface combines smoky blue-grey tones with darker, irregular branching marks, creating a tactile effect reminiscent of softly weathered stone or bark. With a 140cm usable width and a 0cm vertical and horizontal repeat, it offers a continuous, non-directional-looking texture for cutting and placement. The standard roll length is 30m.

How to use it

Use Nola Smoke to upholster a contemporary sofa or occasional chair where its cool charcoal texture can add depth without introducing a strong graphic pattern. It also works as relaxed drapery against pale timber, chalky walls and softly contrasting warm neutrals.

The cool smoke ground and charcoal, branching texture bring quiet depth to upholstery, cushions, curtains and blinds.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Nola Smoke without fighting it. 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.
