Xtra Wide Melita Ash

Xtra Wide Melita Ash is a quietly textured plain in a soft grey taupe that reads cool and balanced on the surface. Its broad, wide-width format gives the cloth a smooth, uninterrupted look with a subtle linen-like slub visible close up.

About this fabric

Woven in 85% polyester and 15% linen, this fabric is specified for curtaining and has a generous 325 cm width, making it well suited to full-length drapes and wider window spans. The Ash colourway sits between grey and taupe, with a muted, dry-looking depth rather than a glossy finish. Under light, the weave shows a fine crosshatch texture that keeps the plain surface from feeling flat. With no martindale rub test noted, it is best considered as a curtain fabric rather than a hard-wearing upholstery cloth.

How to use it

Use Ash for relaxed contemporary curtains where a neutral needs more depth than a flat grey. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky paint colours and textured linens, letting the fabric’s cool taupe tone sit quietly in the room.

A calm, wide-width neutral that hangs cleanly and layers easily with timber, stone and warmer textiles.

Pairs well with

Xtra Wide Melita 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.
