Antares Dusk

Name: Antares Dusk
Brand: Warwick

Antares Dusk is a softly lustrous grey-taupe textile with pale, branching striations that drift across the surface like weathered mineral markings. Its fluid folds bring out subtle changes between the warm ground and lighter pattern.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted, smoky taupe-grey, with a gentle warmth rather than a cold silver cast. Fine pale striations branch and break across the ground, creating a medium-scale organic pattern with a softly mottled depth. The cloth falls into fluid folds in the image, while highlights skim the textured-looking markings and deepen the shadowed troughs. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so project requirements should be checked before considering it for hard-wearing upholstery.

How to use it

Use Antares Dusk for full-length curtains or relaxed blinds in rooms built around chalky stone, warm grey and pale timber, allowing its lighter striations to soften the smoky taupe base.

Use this softly lustrous grey-taupe in full-length curtains where its pale striations can catch changing light across the folds.

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.
