Black Blinds and Charcoal Curtains for Any Room
Black blinds and charcoal curtains give a room a strong, deliberate line, reading differently depending on the fabric, the backing and the light around them. Check the samples below against your own walls and light before you commit.

Why choose black
A strong line at the window
Black and charcoal work well where you want the window to read as a deliberate feature rather than disappear into the wall, and they behave differently again once the light changes.
A bolder daylight read
Black blinds and charcoal curtains show a stronger silhouette in daylight, and even a light filtering or sheer fabric in a dark colour still lets some glow through.
Different from outside
Serene II Charcoal has a colour-coordinated backing, so the reverse you see from outside stays closer to the face colour than on a range with a plain backing.
Hardware that matches
Bracket and component colours include black, so the visible chain, brackets and covers can disappear into the fabric instead of standing out against it.
Where dark works
Bring black and charcoal into the room
Black and charcoal suit a number of products in the range, each using the dark tone a little differently. Three of them are outlined below.
Blockout Roller Blinds
Array Jet and Elegance Obsidian are two deep options in the blockout range, giving a bedroom or media room a strong, considered backdrop.

Sunscreen Roller Blinds
Screen Charcoal and Screen Charcoal Grey soften glare while keeping a view out, giving a darker frame around the window during the day.

Sheer Curtains
Bali Black and Cassis Volume Charcoal diffuse hard daylight while adding a deeper, more grounded tone than a pale sheer would give the room.

Compare it before you commit
Blacks and charcoals vary between warm and cool, and the samples below show the ranges we actually stock. Order a few and compare them side by side.
Order free samples
Add the darker shades you like to one sample order and compare them side by side, rather than judging a single swatch alone.
Check both lights
Hold each sample up in daylight and again under the lights you use at night, since a dark colour can shift depending on the light.
Consider the backing
Check whether the fabric has a plain or colour-coordinated backing, since a dark face colour with a light reverse can read differently from outside.
Pair fabric and hardware
Coordinate bracket, chain and base-rail colours in black with your chosen fabric so the hardware sits quietly alongside it.

Black and Charcoal Blinds and Curtains: your questions answered.
Are there true black blinds, or only charcoal shades?＋
Compare samples such as Array Jet, Elegance Obsidian and Bali Black side by side, since depth and undertone vary between ranges. A screen is only a guide, so check the physical sample in your own light before you decide.
Will a charcoal screen blind give me privacy at night?＋
No. Screen fabrics are primarily a daytime option for light and view, whatever their colour, and do not provide the same privacy once the room is lit and it is dark outside. Close a blockout layer behind it for night-time privacy.
Do black blinds show dust more than lighter colours?＋
Follow the care instructions for your chosen fabric: dust roller fabric with a soft cloth or a damp sponge, and dust shutter or Venetian surfaces with a soft duster, wiping any marks promptly.
How do I pair black or charcoal blinds with white trim?＋
Order samples of your fabric alongside the bracket, chain and base-rail colours you are considering, then compare the combination against your architrave and trim before you commit to a finish.
Can I pair a dark sheer curtain with a light blockout layer?＋
Yes. A double curtain arrangement lets you keep a lighter sheer at the front for daytime softness and a darker or blockout layer behind it for privacy and stronger room darkening at night.
What if the black sample looks more grey once it’s installed?＋
Check the physical sample against the wall and trim in the actual room, in daylight and again under your evening lighting, before you finalise the order. A product photo is only ever an approximate guide.
