About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric in Dedar’s Sheer fabrics collection, Adelphi Charcoal has a light, fine appearance suited to drapery. Its charcoal tone leans gently brown-grey rather than stark black, creating a quieter and warmer impression. Close up, the surface shows delicate lengthwise and crosswise variation, with a restrained slub-like texture and a matte finish. The plain weave keeps the design understated while allowing the tonal shifts in the charcoal colour to remain visible.

How to use it

Use Adelphi Charcoal for full-length curtains in a contemporary or softly tailored room, especially where a warm charcoal backdrop is preferable to hard black. Its fine sheer quality can temper daylight while retaining an airy, understated feel.

A fine charcoal sheer with a softly irregular woven surface, suited to calm, light-filtering curtains.

Pairs well with

Adelphi 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.
