Alston Grey
Nilton FabricL9131-07
Alston Grey is a softly muted taupe with a gentle woven texture and a calm, low-contrast finish. The surface reads as refined and understated, with a light sheen that lifts the depth of the grey-brown ground.

About this fabric
Woven in 65% viscose, 25% cotton and 10% polyester, Alston Grey has a smooth handle and a quietly tailored look that suits both upholstery and drapery use. The fabric appears as a soft mushroom taupe, with fine horizontal striations that give the plain surface a subtle sense of movement. Its 142cm approximate width makes it practical for a wide range of interior applications, while the V 0cm / H 0cm repeat keeps pattern matching straightforward. The colour sits between grey and brown, creating a warm neutral that feels more layered than flat.
How to use it
Use this colourway on a clean-lined sofa, occasional chair or relaxed curtains where its warm taupe tone can sit comfortably with oak, linen and stone. It is especially effective in rooms that need a neutral with a little more depth than standard grey.
A calm taupe neutral that works beautifully with layered woods and textured upholstery.

Alston Grey 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.
