About this fabric

The surface reads as a plain textile rather than a motif, with fine vertical tonal movement that adds depth without becoming a stripe. Slate-grey colouring keeps the shade cool and understated, while the low-key surface texture prevents it from appearing flat. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its suitability should be considered according to the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Pair Martinez Slate with pale stone, chalky white or blue-grey accents for a cool layered room, or use it to temper warmer timber and brass. Its quiet vertical texture works especially well on tailored seating, blinds or full-length curtains.

Use this cool slate grey as a quiet, tailored ground for both upholstery and drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

Martinez 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.
