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.

Bear 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.
