Caribou Ink

Name: Caribou Ink
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: CARIBOU

Caribou Ink pairs a dark, ink-blue ground with a pale decorative motif that reads crisp and classical across the surface. The overall effect is richly detailed but still restrained, with the design sitting neatly into the cloth rather than shouting from it.

About this fabric

This colourway from Ashley Wilde’s Eden Collection is a conversational fabric woven in 80% recycled polyester and 20% polyester, designed for drapes only. At 140cm wide and 343 grams per linear metre, it has enough substance to hang with presence while still showing the fine detail of the repeating 12 x 12cm pattern. The base colour is a deep, muted blue-black ink tone, and the lighter motif lifts clearly against it to create a calm, patterned rhythm. The surface looks smooth and tightly woven rather than fuzzy, giving the design a clean, tailored finish.

How to use it

Use Caribou Ink where you want pattern with a darker, more grounded mood, such as full-length curtains in a study, bedroom, or formal sitting room. Its cool navy-ink depth works especially well with pale paintwork, walnut, brass, and stone-grey upholstery.

A refined ink-blue drape with a softly contrasting pale motif that feels tailored and elegant.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Caribou Ink without fighting it. 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.
