About this fabric

The colour reads as charcoal first, with a restrained warm brown cast visible between the darker threads. Fine horizontal lines run continuously across the swatch, producing a narrow, striated texture rather than a distinct printed motif. Slight shifts in the weave catch the light and give the dark surface gentle tonal depth without making it look glossy or patterned. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair this dark charcoal-brown colourway with warm timber, aged leather and soft cream upholstery for a grounded scheme. Its fine horizontal texture also suits tailored curtains or cushions where a quiet linear detail is useful.

Use this deep charcoal-brown weave to add quiet horizontal texture to upholstery, cushions or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Ansel Charolite 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.
