About this fabric

Catalogued as Fabric, Lovely Asphalt is shown as a substantial-looking cloth with a soft, gently lustrous surface. Its deep asphalt tone sits between charcoal grey and black, while the folded areas create natural bands of lighter and darker shading. The nap catches light unevenly across the swatch, giving the plain surface a quiet, velvety depth without a visible motif. The absence of a pattern keeps the focus on the rich colour and tactile movement of the cloth.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal colour on a statement sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its softly shifting nap can add depth. Balance the near-black tone with warm timber, pale stone or brushed metal for contrast.

A deep charcoal tone and softly lustrous nap bring a luxurious, enveloping finish to upholstered seating.

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.
