About this fabric

The image shows a deep charcoal-black ground crossed by fine horizontal bands, creating a subtle brushed effect across the surface. The tonal shifts are soft and diffuse, so the finish reads as atmospheric rather than sharply patterned. With no visible repeat or motif, this wallpaper relies on its dark Obsidian colour and low-key linear texture to make an impression. It is catalogued as a wallpaper from Zinc Textile’s Caractre Wallcoverings collection.

How to use it

Use Obsidian on a feature wall or throughout a snug, study or dining room where its cool black-charcoal tone can add depth. Balance the dark surface with pale stone, warm timber, soft ivory upholstery or restrained metallic accents.

Use this deep charcoal wallcovering to create a moody, polished backdrop that lets lighter furnishings and warm timber stand out.

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.
