Dakota Denim is a cool, muted blue with a softly weathered look and a gently textured surface. The colour reads like washed denim rather than a bright navy, giving it a calm, contemporary feel.

About this fabric

This Dakota Collection colourway is woven in 100% polyester and specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, with a 60,000 rub test for hard-working interiors. The fabric is 147cm wide and has a substantial handle at 441 grams per linear metre, so it should sit confidently on furniture and hang with presence at the window. Visually, the surface has a subtle striated texture that breaks up the blue-grey ground and gives the cloth a softly aged, almost brushed effect. The overall tone is cool and understated, with enough depth to keep the denim shade from looking flat.

How to use it

Use this denim blue to ground a scheme with pale woods, chalky greys and crisp white, or pair it with deep charcoal for a sharper, more tailored look. It also works well where you want colour without brightness, especially on a statement chair or lined curtains.

A cool denim blue that works well on tailored upholstery or relaxed drapes.

Pairs well with

Dakota Denim 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.
