About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool, smoky charcoal rather than a flat black, giving the swatch considerable visual depth. Its fine, closely woven-looking surface is almost plain, while the satin finish catches the light with a subdued silver-grey glimmer. This refined, fluid-looking cloth is well suited to drapery, and no performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Aplomb Ardesia for full-length curtains in a contemporary or quietly formal room, where its cool charcoal tone can anchor pale stone, soft grey or warm timber. The low-key sheen will add depth without introducing a strong pattern.

Use this deep charcoal satin to bring a cool, quietly lustrous finish to tailored curtains or elegant soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Aplomb 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.
