About this fabric

This colourway sits between cool grey and softened charcoal, with a muted manganese depth rather than a sharp black finish. The surface is visibly woven in narrow horizontal lines, creating a restrained linear texture across the plain face. The even, substantial-looking weave reads as versatile for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Nell Manganese to bring a cool, grounded note to a room, particularly on tailored seating or full-length curtains. Pair its charcoal-grey tone with warm timber, aged metal and lighter neutral textiles for contrast.

The cool charcoal-grey tone and fine horizontal texture suit tailored upholstery, cushions and understated curtains.

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.
