About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, this colourway has a structured woven appearance suited to upholstery. The cheetah spots move from near-black navy at the upper edge through inky blue to lighter denim tones, creating striking depth across the design. Fine weave lines remain visible between the motifs, while the varied blue yarns give the surface a tactile, textile-rich look. No performance features are noted in the supplied details, so its strongest impression is the bold, decorative character visible in the cloth.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep blue colourway on a statement chair, footstool or headboard, balancing its high-contrast animal pattern with chalky neutrals, smoked timber and brushed metal. The lighter denim areas can be echoed in cushions or artwork to soften the darker navy spots.

Use this deep blue cheetah weave on a statement chair, headboard or ottoman against warm neutrals and dark wood.

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.
