Pondbury colour 8 has a cool, faded blue-grey ground patterned with tightly packed floral and leafy forms. Pale taupe and cream highlights soften the design, while darker blue outlines give the small-scale repeat definition.

About this fabric

The visible surface has a woven, lightly textured character, with the pattern built from layered floral shapes rather than a flat printed effect. Its blue-grey, taupe and cream palette reads muted and gently weathered, bringing depth without strong contrast. The compact repeat gives the cloth a composed, decorative feel across the swatch. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended upholstery or drapery project.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway to bring quiet pattern to a chair, headboard or pair of curtains, balancing it with warm ivory, limestone and pale oak. Its softened contrast also works well alongside aged metal and washed timber.

Pair the cool blue-grey ground with chalky neutrals, pale timber and softly aged finishes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pondbury colour 8 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.
