About this fabric

This colourway reads as cool graphite charcoal, moving towards near-black in the deeper folds while retaining a muted grey lift across the face. The visible cloth falls fluidly into broad vertical pleats, making its drapery character particularly clear, while the coordinating grey tassel adds a tactile decorative detail. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the fabric should be assessed against the requirements of the intended window treatment.

How to use it

Use Tempest for full-length curtains in rooms with pale plaster, stone or warm neutral walls, where its cool charcoal tone creates depth without introducing a strong colour. Pair it with brushed metal, dark timber and tonal grey upholstery for a quietly luxe scheme.

Use this deep charcoal-grey cloth for elegant, full-length curtains with a softly reflective finish.

Amante Tie Back Tempest 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.
