About this fabric

The 130 gsm cloth has a fine, fluid handle suited to drapery rather than hard-wearing upholstery. Close up, the charcoal ground shows delicate vertical texture with occasional muted rust-brown threads, while the pale stripes create a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. It has a generous 305 cm usable width and a 305 cm vertical pattern repeat, allowing the elongated stripe layout to read clearly in full-height curtains. The horizontal repeat is 31.1 cm, keeping the stripe arrangement measured across the width.

How to use it

Use Jonas Charcoal at full height in a contemporary room where its cool, near-black ground can temper pale walls and timber, while the narrow light stripes add structure without introducing a bold colour. Its fine sheer quality is well suited to layered window treatments or softly filtered daylight.

A fine, fluid charcoal sheer with strong vertical lines, suited to full-height curtains and softly filtered light.

Pairs well with

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