About this fabric

Oxford Blue appears here as a muted, dark blue rather than a bright or saturated navy. Fine alternating chevrons form a small-scale herringbone pattern, with the ridges shifting between blue-black and softer slate-blue as they catch the light. The close weave gives the surface a subtly tactile, tailored appearance without introducing a bold motif. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-blue on a structured armchair, sofa or dining seat when you want upholstery with restrained pattern and visible woven depth. It would sit comfortably with pale stone, warm timber and other quiet neutrals that allow the blue to retain its inky character.

Use this cool, charcoal-cast blue on tailored upholstery where its fine herringbone texture can add depth without a strong motif.

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.
