About this fabric

This Andrew Martin fabric reads as a light powder blue, softened by faint grey-white variation rather than a bright or saturated blue. Closely spaced vertical lines create a restrained stripe effect, while the lightly textured weave stops the surface from appearing flat. The fine, fluid appearance makes it particularly suited to drapery. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use Cambridge Powder for full-length curtains where its cool blue tone can complement white-painted walls, pale timber and other quiet neutrals. Its subtle vertical texture will add gentle movement without introducing a bold pattern.

Use this cool powder-blue shade for softly filtered curtains in calm, light-filled rooms.

Pairs well with

Cambridge Powder Fabric 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.
