About this fabric

The tightly woven surface is formed from fine horizontal threads, creating a restrained strié effect across the full swatch. In this Charolite colourway, muted plum undertones sit beneath a charcoal-grey cast, keeping the shade cool and subdued rather than bright. The texture reads as gently tactile rather than smooth, with slender lighter and darker threads adding understated movement. Catalogued as a fabric in Zinc Textile’s Zambales collection, this colourway has no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use this cool mauve-grey on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard where its charcoal depth can anchor pale stone, smoky grey and muted plum accents. The fine horizontal texture will add quiet dimension without introducing a strong motif.

Its cool mauve-grey depth and restrained horizontal texture suit tailored upholstery in contemporary, atmospheric schemes.

Palisade Charolite 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.
