About this fabric

The narrow vertical stripes are closely spaced and subtly irregular, giving the design a quiet textile depth rather than a stark graphic contrast. Its pale steel-blue tone reads cool and restrained, while the lightly flecked weave prevents the surface from appearing flat. The image shows a fine, closely woven cloth with a gently tactile grain. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway to add understated structure to a pale room, especially on tailored upholstery or full-length curtains where the vertical stripe can lengthen the look.

A cool, finely striped blue-grey that brings quiet structure to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

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.
