Ashton Texture Ink Blue

Name: Ashton Texture Ink Blue
Brand: Isle Mill

Ashton Texture Ink Blue has a deep, cool navy ground overlaid with smoky slate-blue marks. Its close woven surface gives the colour a softly tactile, layered appearance rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The image shows an abstract, mottled weave in which pale blue-grey flecks and irregular cloudy areas break through the ink-blue base. Fine diagonal texture is visible across the swatch, adding depth as the lighter threads catch the light. The tonal contrast is restrained, so the overall effect remains sophisticated and atmospheric rather than brightly patterned. As a fabric suitable for upholstery, this colourway would give a chair or sofa a substantial, richly textured blue finish.

How to use it

Pair the cool ink-blue tone with charcoal, weathered oak and brushed metal for a modern scheme, or soften it with chalky neutrals and pale blue-grey accents.

Use this deep ink blue texture to bring layered tonal depth to contemporary upholstery and occasional chairs.

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.
