Calais Silhoutte

Name: Calais Silhoutte
Brand: Warwick

Calais Silhoutte reads as a deep charcoal with a softly mottled surface and a dry, understated weave. The dark tone feels refined rather than stark, with just enough texture to stop the colour from looking flat.

About this fabric

This plain fabric from Warwick’s Calais collection is composed of 52% Recycled Polyester and 48% Polyester, and it is supplied at a generous 300 cm width for curtaining. In this colourway, the cloth appears as a near-black charcoal with faint warm-grey undertones, so the weave texture is visible rather than lost in the darkness. The small grid of the surface gives the shade a lightly tailored finish, making it feel calm and architectural. With no martindale rub test noted and a curtaining use classification, it is best treated as a drapery fabric rather than an upholstery cloth.

How to use it

Use this shade for full-height curtains, wave headings or simple roman blinds where the dark charcoal can frame a room cleanly. It works especially well against pale walls, limed timber and brushed metal finishes, where the weave reads as quietly textural.

A clean, contemporary charcoal that gives curtains depth without feeling heavy.

Pairs well with

Calais Silhoutte 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.
