Kandesh Co-ord Carolina Blue combines a softly cream ground with a delicate, all-over pattern of pale Carolina blue curls. The cool blue reads lightly against the ground, giving the swatch a fresh, airy character.

About this fabric

Small meandering and comma-like marks cover the surface in a dense, irregular repeat, creating a softly animated texture rather than a rigid geometric pattern. The Carolina blue is pale and slightly muted, while the cream ground keeps the overall effect gentle and low contrast. A fine, even woven texture is visible across the swatch, adding subtle depth as the light catches the surface. This item is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this cool pale-blue colourway on a relaxed chair, bench or pair of curtains where its cream ground can keep the room bright. Layer it with chalky whites, light woods and quiet blue-grey accents to echo the swatch’s soft contrast.

Use the cool Carolina blue curls to bring a light, quietly decorative accent to relaxed upholstery or softly dressed windows.

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.
