About this fabric

The visible design is formed from narrow, irregular vertical lines, creating a gently undulating effect rather than a fixed geometric stripe. Small changes in the woven surface catch the light across the grey, making some lines appear slightly brighter and others more shaded. The restrained colour and close-scale pattern give this colourway a composed, contemporary character. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use Ashton Lead where a cool grey foundation is needed, such as on a tailored chair, simple sofa or full-length curtain. Pair it with chalky whites, charcoal accents and pale timber to keep the room’s tone quiet and architectural.

A softly textured lead-grey weave with fine vertical movement for upholstery or drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ashton Lead without fighting it. 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.
