Alaska Slate is a quietly textured plain in a cool, even grey with a slate undertone. The surface reads smooth and understated, with a soft shift in tone that keeps the colourway from feeling flat.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, Alaska Slate combines a practical performance profile with a restrained, contemporary look. The swatch shows a muted slate grey that leans cool rather than warm, with subtle tonal variation that gives the surface depth without introducing a visible pattern. At 146cm wide and tested to 45,000 severe contract rubs, it is a robust option for high-use schemes where a plain fabric is needed. Its 300gsm weight gives it a substantial handle that should sit well on upholstery while still making sense for tailored drapery.

How to use it

Use this slate grey as a grounding neutral alongside pale oak, chalk white or black accents for a crisp, architectural scheme. It also works well in layered tonal interiors where a cooler grey needs to anchor softer textures and natural finishes.

A versatile slate tone that feels tailored and works neatly across seating and window treatments.

Pairs well with

Alaska Slate 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.
