Mitchell Blue presents a cool slate-blue textile surface threaded with pale, broken horizontal flecks. The close weave gives the colour depth: blue dominates, while the lighter yarns soften its overall reading.

About this fabric

Mitchell Blue is catalogued as a fabric, and the photograph shows a cool, muted slate-blue ground rather than a bright or heavily saturated blue. Short pale threads break across it in closely spaced horizontal bands, creating a small-scale, flecked weave with a softly irregular edge. The dense surface reads tactile and substantial in close view, with the lighter yarns giving the blue gentle lift instead of a flat block of colour. No performance features are noted for this fabric in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this cool slate-blue colourway on an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa where its small, pale horizontal flecks can add texture without introducing a strong motif. Balance it with chalky whites, soft greys or weathered timber to reinforce its quiet, cool character.

Its cool slate-blue tone and pale flecked weave bring understated texture to upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Mitchell Blue 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.
