About this fabric

The colour sits between ivory and light beige, offering a warmer and softer impression than a stark white. A quiet grid of large rectangular checks is visible across the face, with fine vertical and horizontal threads creating a dry, linen-like texture. Subtle changes between lighter and slightly deeper panels give the woven surface gentle depth without strong contrast. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Ashlar Natural where a room needs lightness without flatness: it suits relaxed upholstery, softly tailored curtains or blinds, and calm schemes built around warm whites, pale woods and natural stone.

Use this softly checked ivory tone to bring quiet texture and gentle structure to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ashlar Natural 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.
