Dakota Birch has a softly weathered, greige taupe surface that reads quietly refined rather than flat. The woven texture catches the light with a subtle cross-grain effect, giving the fabric depth across the whole swatch.

About this fabric

Part of Ashley Wilde’s Dakota Collection, Dakota Birch is a 100% polyester fabric designed for severe contract upholstery and drapes. The surface shows a muted birch-toned greige taupe, with gentle tonal striations and a lightly distressed texture that softens the overall look. Its 60,000 severe contract rub test and 147cm width make it a practical choice for demanding commercial interiors as well as tailored domestic schemes. With a substantial 441gsm weight, it has enough body for upholstery while still remaining suitable for drapery where a textured plain is needed.

How to use it

Use Dakota Birch where you want a restrained, architectural neutral that won’t compete with other finishes. It works especially well with pale oak, stone, linen, and black accents, bringing warmth without turning yellow.

A calm greige taupe that adds quiet texture without overpowering a room.

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.
