About this fabric

The fine linear weave creates subtle tonal movement, with slightly lighter threads catching across the dark ground rather than forming a pronounced pattern. The dense surface reads as composed and tailored, making the charcoal shade especially suited to structured upholstery. This is a fabric SKU with no performance features noted in the supplied information, so its appeal here is the restrained colour and visible woven texture.

How to use it

Pair Etch Flint with pale stone, chalk and cool timber tones to bring definition to a room without introducing strong colour. Its deep charcoal cast also works well on a tailored chair or sofa where the fine vertical texture can be seen up close.

Use this deep, finely striated charcoal weave for tailored upholstery with a quiet, contemporary finish.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Etch Flint without fighting it. 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.
