About this fabric

This colourway reads as a fresh sky blue, with a slightly brighter cyan quality where the light catches the surface. Fine, cloud-like mottling moves across the ground without forming a repeated pattern, adding quiet depth to the otherwise plain design. The texture is understated and softly brushed in appearance, keeping the overall impression relaxed rather than formal. No performance features are noted in the supplied record for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Alpha Summer Sky with white, pale grey or washed timber for an airy scheme, or use it against warm natural neutrals to soften the cool blue. Its calm, lightly varied surface suits relaxed upholstery and simple curtains.

Use this cool, lightly mottled blue to bring a fresh, airy note to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Alpha Summer Sky 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.
