About this fabric

The swatch shows a close, even weave rather than a printed motif. Its blue-grey ground is softened by taupe and brownish threads, while the fine horizontal and vertical yarns create a restrained crosshatch with subtle tonal variation. The cloth reads as a versatile mid-weight textile for upholstery or drapery based on its visible weave, although no composition, width or rub-test data is supplied. Its subdued blue has a cool, mineral quality, with warmer flecks keeping the surface from looking flat.

How to use it

Use Riley Moroccan Blue on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its cool blue-grey tone can settle against pale neutrals. Pick up the warmer taupe threads with natural wood, stone or softly brown accessories.

Its cool blue-grey ground and warm taupe flecks bring subtle depth to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Riley Moroccan Blue 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.
