About this fabric

The swatch pairs a cool silver-taupe base with narrow, evenly spaced black stripes, creating a crisp graphic rhythm without a heavy contrast. Its fine, close weave appears smooth and subtly reflective, allowing the lighter ground to soften the dark lines. As part of Dedar’s Satin fabrics collection, it has a polished, tailored presence that reads especially well across full-height curtains. No performance features are noted in the supplied record.

How to use it

Use this silver-taupe and black colourway for streamlined curtains in a neutral room, where the vertical stripes can add height and definition. It also suits blinds or panels paired with charcoal, stone and brushed-metal accents.

Use the silver-taupe ground and black striping to bring tailored contrast to curtains or blinds.

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.
