Checkers Anthracite

Name: Checkers Anthracite
Brand: Warwick

Checkers Anthracite is a deep charcoal-grey woven fabric with a minute checked surface. Its closely spaced pattern reads as a softly textured near-solid from a distance, while the lighter threads become visible up close.

About this fabric

The small check is formed by tightly repeated dark and slightly lighter threads, giving this colourway a cool, layered anthracite tone rather than a flat black appearance. The close-up shows a fine, even weave with a subtly tactile surface and very little colour contrast between the checks. As a catalogued fabric from Warwick’s Checkers collection, it is presented here as a textile rather than a wallpaper. The restrained pattern and deep grey depth give it a smart, quietly graphic character.

How to use it

Pair this anthracite colourway with pale stone, chalky grey or natural timber to bring out its cool depth. It works especially well where a room needs a fine check that adds texture without introducing a strong contrasting pattern.

Use the cool, low-contrast check to anchor upholstery or understated window treatments.

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