Bear Ash

Volume Fabric

Bear Ash is a quiet, cool-toned grey with a softly mottled surface that gives the plain textile gentle depth. Its restrained colour reads as a balanced ash shade rather than a stark silver or charcoal.

About this fabric

The swatch shows an even ash-grey ground with subtle tonal variation across the surface. A close, softly brushed texture catches the light in fine shifts, preventing the colour from appearing flat while keeping the overall look understated. There is no visible motif or repeat, so the focus remains on the muted grey tone and tactile finish. The dense appearance makes this colourway particularly well suited to upholstered furniture where a calm, smart surface is wanted.

How to use it

Pair Bear Ash with pale timber, chalky stone and cool blue-grey accents for a composed contemporary room. Its soft ash tone also provides a gentle neutral base for patterned cushions or warmer natural textures.

Use this cool ash-grey textile to give upholstered seating a quiet, softly tactile finish.

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.
