About this fabric

The swatch reads as deep charcoal grey with a cool slate cast, rather than a warm graphite tone. Its fine, closely set weave creates a restrained salt-and-pepper texture, with tiny lighter threads visible across the surface. There is no discernible motif, giving the colourway a clean, continuous appearance at this scale. Tempera Ardesia is catalogued as a Fabric in Dedar’s Curtain fabrics collection.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-slate colourway for full-length curtains where its dark, finely textured surface can frame pale stone, soft grey or natural timber. Its quiet woven variation also suits a tailored, modern room scheme without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool charcoal-slate ground with a fine woven grain for understated, tailored curtains.

Tempera Ardesia 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.
