Buckby Graphite

Name: Buckby Graphite
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: EWV3BUCKBY

Buckby Graphite has a softly weathered botanical look, with slender branching forms fading in and out of a cool grey ground. The overall effect is muted and textural rather than bold, giving the swatch a calm, layered surface.

About this fabric

This drape-only fabric is composed of 68% Recycle Polyester, 26% Cotton and 6% Polyester, with a width of 142cm and a weight of 320gsm. The pattern repeat is 41cm vertically and 23.5cm horizontally, which helps the small branching motif read as a continuous, finely scaled surface. In this colourway, the graphite tone sits in a cool grey register with a softened, almost chalky finish that lightens the design and keeps the botanical detail understated. The texture visible in the swatch adds depth without gloss, making the fabric feel composed and restrained. Woven in India, it suits window treatments where a smart, naturalistic pattern is wanted without strong contrast.

How to use it

Use Buckby Graphite for relaxed interlined curtains, Roman blinds or full-length drapes in rooms with pale plaster, stone or oak finishes. Its cool grey depth pairs especially well with layered neutrals and dark metal accents.

A quiet graphite-toned botanical with enough texture to feel tailored and refined.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Buckby Graphite 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.
