Misc Fabric

Nineveh Denim combines cool denim-blue stripes with chalky ivory, soft taupe and narrow darker lines. Its vertically arranged bands have a gently irregular, woven appearance rather than a crisp printed finish.

About this fabric

The colourway is led by a weathered blue-grey denim tone, softened by pale ivory and sandy taupe stripes. Narrow vertical lines sit beside broader bands containing small interrupted pale marks, while a central ladder-like accent adds further detail. The visibly textured weave gives the stripes a softly broken edge and keeps the overall look relaxed rather than formal. With its apparent mid-weight woven handle, it is well suited to either upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Use the cool denim ground on a relaxed armchair or headboard, pairing it with chalky whites, aged timber and warm taupe to bring out the stripe’s softer notes. It can also add quiet vertical rhythm to curtains or blinds without making the room feel overly tailored.

A softly textured blue stripe with warm ivory and taupe accents, suited to relaxed upholstery and flowing window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Nineveh Denim Fabric 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.
