Dark Coloured Fabric

Dark colours can improve the intimacy of a room which can help invoke feelings of cosy warmth and comfort. Choose from our dark shades and tones of fabric.

When should I use dark colours in a room?

Light colours are expansive and airy, making rooms seem larger and brighter. Dark colours are sophisticated and warm; they give large rooms a more intimate appearance.

Using a darker tone on the curtains or blinds, with lighter walls will emphasise the structure and architecture of a room.

Dark Fabrics can create a dark, moody and glamorous room, offering a sense of calm for a truly relaxed environment. Not only do they often create a cosier, more comforting atmosphere than some of their lighter counterparts, but they are also thought to have different psychological effects on our brains too. Dark coloured curtains work very well in spacious interiors or high-ceilinged rooms to visually shrink the space and give it a cosier vibe.

A lot of richly pigmented tones have a sophisticated, almost luxurious feel to them and are a good choice for creating a welcoming an intimate interior scheme.

If you have dark fabrics consider making the walls dark too, then you will need to introduce lighter tones and colours with upholstery and paintings. Dark colours recede. When a room is papered or painted a dark colour, the colour will actually make the room look larger, rather than bringing the walls in.

Winter, Charcoal, Thunder, Tarn, Plum, Cornflower, Lichen, and Indigo are some of our most dramatic dark colours. Winter is a beautiful shade of almost-black, dark grey. Up the Garden Path, which is also available as a softer but no less dramatic Charcoal Wall Covering, is the most striking fabric in this colour.
