About this fabric

This 425gsm woven fabric presents a softly mottled graphite tone, with slender darker and lighter ribs running vertically across the face. The close linear texture gives the cloth a neat, tailored character rather than a bold patterned effect. With a 138cm usable width and a 35m standard length, it is suited to considered upholstery planning where the narrow 0.4cm horizontal repeat can be aligned with precision. The pattern repeat is 0cm vertically, so the continuous rib direction remains visually uninterrupted.

How to use it

Pair Ashdown Graphite with chalky whites, pale stone and cool timber for a restrained contemporary scheme, or use it to ground sharper black and brushed-metal accents. Its vertical ribbing works particularly well on clean-lined chairs, sofas and headboards.

Use this cool graphite grey to give tailored seating a quiet, finely textured finish.

Pairs well with

Ashdown Graphite 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.
