Austen Pearl

Name: Austen Pearl
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: AUSTEN

Austen Pearl is a quiet, pearl-toned plain with a gently striated surface that catches the light without reading shiny. Its pale finish feels fresh and refined rather than stark.

About this fabric

Woven in 90% Recycled Polyester and 10% Polyester, Austen Pearl is specified for drapes only and has a width of 140cm. The fabric shows a subtle horizontal texture across the surface, giving the soft pearl white colour a little movement and depth. At 200gsm, it sits in a reassuring mid-weight range that helps the cloth hang neatly while still keeping its airy look. The overall effect is cool, light, and understated, with just enough texture to stop the pale tone from feeling flat.

How to use it

Use Austen Pearl where you want a room to feel brighter and more composed, especially with pale timber, soft greys, or stone finishes. The cool pearl tone also makes a calm backdrop for linen, brushed metal, and other restrained natural textures.

A clean pearl tone that keeps rooms light and calm on a softly textured drape.

Pairs well with

Austen Pearl 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.
