About this fabric

The pattern is a close-set grid of uneven square marks rather than a crisp geometric check, giving the surface a softly weathered depth. Dark charcoal blocks sit among blue-green and grey-teal threads, so the colour reads cool and shaded rather than bright or saturated. The dense-looking, tactile weave is visually suited to upholstery, while the supplied record lists no performance features.

How to use it

Use this deep smoky teal colourway on an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa, pairing its cool depth with charcoal, aged timber and softly contrasting pale neutrals.

A deep smoky teal check that brings cool, textural depth 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.
