Carrara Fabric

Carrara Ink shows a painterly, abstract surface in deep slate blue, charcoal and softened grey. The design reads as layered and atmospheric, with bold vertical movement and worn-in texture.

About this fabric

This colourway has a cool, ink-dark ground broken by misty blue-grey veining and lighter chalky patches, giving the fabric a brushed, almost weathered look. The abstract pattern is large in scale, with a 68.5 cm horizontal and vertical repeat that supports the full dramatic sweep seen across the swatch. Woven in 100% polyester and specified for curtaining and upholstery, it offers a practical 137 cm width and a 60,000+ Martindale rub test for heavier use. Its finish feels smart rather than glossy, with the darker areas creating depth while the paler strokes lift the overall look.

How to use it

Use Carrara Ink for structured upholstery, statement cushions or full-length curtains where the blue-black ground can anchor a room. It pairs well with pale plaster tones, smoked oak and brushed metal for a refined, contemporary scheme.

A moody blue-grey statement that works well on tailored upholstery or dramatic curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Carrara Ink 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.
