About this fabric

This plain Marietta colourway is woven from 100% linen and measures approximately 137cm wide. Its deep charcoal-black tone reads cool and quietly dramatic, while the fine weave gives the surface a restrained, natural softness. Small changes in the weave catch the light gently, revealing delicate grey-green and black tonal shifts rather than a stark, uniform black. Supplied for curtains and cushions, it has dry-clean aftercare.

How to use it

Pair Marietta Night with pale stone, warm ivory or brushed metal to balance its cool charcoal depth. Used for curtains, it creates a darker architectural frame; on cushions, it brings definition to lighter upholstery.

Use this deep charcoal linen to add quiet depth to cushions or full-length curtains.

Marietta 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.
