Dakota Raven

Name: Dakota Raven
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: DAKOTA

Dakota Raven is a deep, shadowy plain with a softly striated surface that reads almost black at first glance. The finish has a dry, brushed look rather than a shine, giving the colourway a restrained, modern feel.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Dakota Raven is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, with a durable 60,000 rub test and a substantial 300gsm weight. The image shows a very dark charcoal-black ground with subtle horizontal and vertical movement, so the texture becomes visible only when the light catches it. At 147cm wide, it is practical for larger upholstery pieces and drapery alike, while the tonal irregularity stops the plain from looking flat. Made in Spain, this colourway feels polished and understated, with a cool raven depth that suits contemporary interiors.

How to use it

Use Dakota Raven on a statement chair, banquette or headboard where the low-key texture can add depth without pattern. It also works well with pale woods, brushed metal and soft greys for a crisp, architectural scheme.

Pairs well with

Dakota Raven 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.
