Name: 25 Dragonfly
Brand: Wemyss

Yalamba 25 Dragonfly is a deep charcoal-grey upholstery fabric with a compact, tactile surface. Fine vertical tonal variation gives the swatch a softly striated appearance rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The dark grey ground is subtly enlivened by closely spaced vertical lines and flecks, creating depth without a strong decorative motif. Its dense, nubby weave reads as substantial and well suited to upholstered furniture. Light catches the uneven surface in tiny shifts between charcoal, grey and near-black, giving the colourway a quietly tailored character. No further composition, usage, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use 25 Dragonfly on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its deep charcoal tone can anchor a room. Balance the shade with chalky walls, soft grey textiles and lighter timber to keep the overall scheme from feeling heavy.

Pair the deep charcoal tone with pale neutrals, warm timber or brushed metal for a considered contemporary scheme.

25 Dragonfly 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.
