About this fabric

The shade sits between mid grey and warm ash, with a muted, weathered quality rather than a crisp silver tone. Fine tonal flecks and faint vertical movement are visible across the surface, creating gentle texture as the light shifts. At 300gsm and 144cm usable width, it offers a practical mid-weight option for both upholstery and drapery. With a 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the surface can be cut without matching a design.

How to use it

Use Alvar Ash to soften a contemporary seating scheme or to add a calm, cool-grey layer to full-length curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and deeper charcoal accents to draw out its subtle tonal depth.

A cool, quietly textured grey that brings understated depth to upholstery, curtains and coordinating soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Alvar Ash 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.
