About this fabric

The ash-grey ground shifts subtly between charcoal and softer silver-grey threads, creating a gently textured appearance across the cloth. Fine vertical and horizontal yarn variations form a restrained woven grid rather than a printed pattern. At 300 gsm and 144 cm usable width, Martello Ash has a versatile mid-weight suited to both upholstery and drapery. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the surface can be handled without pattern matching.

How to use it

Use Martello Ash to bring a cool, grounded tone to an armchair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing its textured grey surface with pale timber, blackened metal or warmer natural neutrals.

The cool ash-grey tone and subtle woven texture suit relaxed upholstery, curtains and understated layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Martello 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.
