Wilderie Fabric FabricCCF0536-12

Sylph Night is a deep, near-black navy fabric with a quiet horizontal texture visible across its otherwise plain surface. Its cool blue depth gives the cloth a composed, low-light character.

About this fabric

Viewed close up, Sylph Night reads as an almost-black navy, with fine horizontal variation adding understated textile depth. At 93 gsm, it is a lightweight cloth suited to drapery rather than hard-wearing upholstery. The fabric has a 137 cm usable width and a 40 m standard length, while both pattern-repeat measurements are 0 cm, so there is no repeat to align. Its restrained colour and softly textured face create a deep, cocooning finish without a visible motif.

How to use it

Use Sylph Night for full-length curtains in rooms that call for a cool, enveloping navy backdrop. Pair its near-black blue tone with pale timber, chalky neutrals or brushed metal so the subtle surface texture remains visible.

A near-black navy with subtle woven depth, ideal for full-length curtains and other softly tailored window treatments.

Sylph Night 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.
