Austen Hessian

Name: Austen Hessian
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: AUSTEN

Austen Hessian is a quietly textured plain in a warm, sandy beige that reads soft and natural on the eye. The fine surface has a subtle horizontal grain that gives the cloth gentle movement without interrupting its calm look.

About this fabric

Woven in 90% recycled polyester and 10% polyester, Austen Hessian is specified for drapes only and has a width of 140cm. At 200gsm, it sits in a reassuring mid-weight that should hang neatly while still feeling light enough for elegant window dressing. The colour is a muted hessian beige with a slightly earthy undertone, softened further by the cloth's fine linear texture. With no repeat and a plain style, it offers a clean, versatile finish that suits relaxed interiors without looking flat.

How to use it

Use this warm beige to soften larger windows, especially where you want a natural, low-contrast look against timber, stone or painted walls. Its muted tone is ideal for layering with linen, oak and other earthy neutrals.

A soft neutral that works beautifully as a calm, understated curtain cloth.

Pairs well with

Austen Hessian 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.
