Textures 2 Collection FabricISLA

Isla Denim is a quietly woven texture in a soft, cool blue with a gently mottled surface. The small-scale grain gives the swatch a calm, understated look rather than a flat solid.

About this fabric

Woven in India from 71% polyester and 29% cotton, Isla Denim is a drapes-only fabric with a reassuring 318 gsm weight and a 140cm width. The surface reads as a pale denim blue, softened with grey undertones, so the colour feels cool, muted and easy to live with. Its fine textured face catches the light in a subtle way, adding depth without obvious pattern contrast. With rub test results listed as N/A, this is best considered for window dressing rather than hard-wearing upholstery.

How to use it

Use Isla Denim for relaxed curtains or full-length blinds where you want a cool blue tone that won’t overpower the room. It pairs neatly with white paint, pale oak and brushed metal finishes, especially in coastal or contemporary schemes.

A cool, softly textured blue that works beautifully for understated curtains.

Isla 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.
