Austen Dove
Darwin Collection FabricAUSTEN
Austen Dove is a quietly refined plain with a cool dove-grey cast and a smooth, understated surface. Its soft, even tone gives the swatch a calm, clean look with just enough texture to catch the light.

About this fabric
From Ashley Wilde’s Darwin Collection, Austen Dove is specified as a drapes-only fabric in 90% recycled polyester and 10% polyester. The cloth has a plain, finely textured appearance with no visible pattern repeat, and the 140cm width makes it straightforward for curtain-making. At 200gsm and 280 grams per linear metre, it reads as a substantial drapery cloth rather than a featherlight sheer. The colour is a pale, misty grey with a slightly cool undertone, giving the surface a soft, chalky freshness in daylight.
How to use it
Use this dove grey for floor-length curtains, relaxed Roman blinds or layered sheers where you want a calm, modern neutral. It pairs especially well with white woodwork, pale oak and deeper charcoal accents.
A crisp, muted grey for tailored curtains and understated interiors.

Austen Dove 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.
