Black Draping

How it’s used

Deep black panels on pipe-and-drape frames absorb light, so whatever stands in front of them reads clearly while the room behind disappears. Use runs of it to hide catering and back-of-house areas, line balconies and corridors, or set a neutral wall behind a stage or panel.

• Corporate and brand events. Behind a speaker panel, black keeps the eye on the people and the screen. Our corporate events page has more on staging a room.
• Galas and fundraisers. Black around the edges of a ballroom hides service doors and makes the lit tables look brighter.
• Proms. In a gym or cafeteria, black drape covers bleachers and walls so the space reads as a party room.

All drape colors are in our pipe and drape collection.

Planning tip: walk the room and list everything you want hidden, from doors and storage to the kitchen line, then tell us the total length and the ceiling height.
