About this fabric

This Charcoal colourway is built from closely spaced vertical lines, creating a subtle tonal movement rather than a bold stripe. Its cool grey depth is softened by lighter threads, so the surface appears gently layered as the light moves across it. At 115 gsm and 297 cm usable width, it is well suited to broad drapery drops. The design has a 16.8 cm vertical repeat and a 20 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the fine linear pattern to continue consistently across curtains.

How to use it

Pair Rapello Charcoal with crisp white, pale grey or cool stone furnishings to reinforce its airy tonal range. Its fine vertical direction works especially well in full-length curtains where the charcoal lines can add quiet height without overwhelming the room.

Use this cool charcoal sheer to bring softly layered vertical texture to full-length curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

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