About this fabric

The image shows a dense-looking woven textile in a very deep charcoal grey, softened by a restrained slate undertone rather than a flat, absolute black. Fine horizontal striations run across the surface, giving the plain colour a quiet tactile depth while retaining its low-sheen, matte appearance. No performance features are noted for this fabric in the supplied information. Its dark, controlled tone suits tailored upholstery and curtains where a calm, architectural finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Lunar Slate to ground pale stone, chalk and cool timber schemes, or pair it with brushed metal and low-contrast charcoal furnishings for a deliberately pared-back room. Its cool near-black tone is especially effective on a statement chair, sofa, or full-length curtain where the subtle weave can catch the light.

A cool, near-black slate tone that brings quiet depth to upholstery or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Lunar Slate 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.
