Heddon Charcoal

Sartorial Fabric

Heddon Charcoal has a deep charcoal-grey ground marked by tightly packed, irregular vertical striations. The tonal variation gives the surface a strong sense of height and direction without introducing a separate motif.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as a dense, textural upholstery cloth, with fine light and dark threads creating a weathered, almost brushed vertical effect. Its charcoal base is cool and smoky rather than warm, while the lighter streaks keep the dark colour from appearing flat. The supplied catalogue identifies this as a Fabric and lists no performance features. The close-set striation gives the design a smart, architectural character suited to tailored upholstery.

How to use it

Use Heddon Charcoal on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool smoky tone can anchor a room. Pair it with pale grey, blackened timber or warm metal to balance the pronounced vertical texture.

Use the deep charcoal tone to bring definition to upholstered seating while keeping the vertical texture understated.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Heddon Charcoal 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.
