Matador Midnight

Name: Matador Midnight
Brand: Warwick

Matador Midnight is a near-black blue fabric with a softly lustrous surface that shifts subtly across its gathered folds. The photograph shows a plain cloth whose depth comes from tonal shadow and gentle nap rather than pattern.

About this fabric

The cool midnight-blue tone sits close to charcoal black, giving this colourway a deep, dramatic presence without a bright or saturated blue cast. Its smooth surface catches the light softly along the ridges of the drape, while the recessed folds become almost black. The fabric is catalogued as part of Warwick’s Matador collection, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. As a plain fabric with a fluid-looking fall, it is suited to upholstery and drapery where a dark, enveloping finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Matador Midnight to create a quietly theatrical sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain, pairing its cool blue-black depth with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal to prevent the room feeling flat.

The deep midnight tone and softly shifting surface bring a dramatic, cocooning finish to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Matador Midnight 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.
