Kenya Slate

Name: Kenya Slate
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: KENYA

Kenya Slate brings a crisp, slate-grey interpretation of the Serengeti design, with the pattern reading as layered and textural rather than bold. The woven surface softens the animal-inspired motif into a calm, tonal drapery fabric.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and specified for drapes only, Kenya Slate has a reassuring body at 350 grams per linear metre and a practical 140cm width. The repeat is generous at 32cm vertically and 23.5cm horizontally, giving the design its full interlocking rhythm across the cloth. Visually, this colourway sits in a cool grey register with a pale, chalky ground and darker slate markings that pick out the textured motif. The result is smart but restrained, with enough contrast to show the pattern clearly while still feeling understated. Made in India, it has the look of a contemporary textured drapery rather than a soft, flowing sheer.

How to use it

Use Kenya Slate where you want a cool, disciplined grey that sits neatly with oak, black metal, or pale stone finishes. It works especially well for full-length curtains in pared-back rooms that need pattern without extra colour.

A cool, graphic slate ground that adds quiet structure to tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

Kenya Slate 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.
