About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool, softened grey rather than a stark silver, giving the swatch a restrained and airy appearance. Close up, the plain ground is enlivened by delicate vertical slubs and tonal shifts within the weave. Light catches some threads more brightly while others recede, creating subtle depth across the otherwise even surface. No additional performance or composition specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Pure Ash on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool grey tone can balance warmer timber, natural linen and softly coloured accents. Its unobtrusive woven texture also works well in a calm, contemporary room that needs quiet surface interest rather than a bold motif.

Its cool ash-grey tone and fine vertical weave suit tailored seating, headboards and calm contemporary schemes.

Pure 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.
