About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk, this Pamina Silks fabric has a subtle horizontal texture and no visible pattern repeat, which keeps the surface calm and refined. The 138cm width makes it practical for elegant window treatments, while the cool charcoal shade reads softened rather than blackened. Light picks up the silk’s natural sheen unevenly across the weave, adding depth without introducing a strong contrast. The result is a fabric that feels composed and understated, with enough movement in the yarn to stop the colour looking flat.

How to use it

Use Pamina Charcoal for interlined curtains, Roman blinds or full-length drapes where you want a darker neutral with a smooth, architectural feel. It pairs well with pale walls, walnut woods and brushed metal finishes.

A quiet charcoal silk that gives a room depth without stealing attention.

Pamina Charcoal 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.
