About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense, small-scale interlaced weave rather than a printed motif. Graphite and mid-grey threads combine across the surface, creating a softly mottled charcoal appearance that changes subtly as the light catches the raised texture. The close, compact construction gives this fabric a substantial upholstery-led presence. No additional composition, performance or width specifications were supplied.

How to use it

Use this cool graphite colourway on a tailored sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its restrained tonal texture can complement pale stone, warm timber and brushed metal. It also works well as a grounding grey against stronger artwork or richer accent colours.

A cool, densely woven graphite grey with subtle tonal variation for tailored upholstery.

Capel Graphite 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.
