Inaya Indium

Name: Inaya Indium
Brand: Black Edition

Inaya Indium reads as a deep, cool indigo with charcoal depth, while pale blue-grey streaks break up the dark ground. In this room setting, the textile appears with a dense, softly lustrous surface on the sofa, with the same expressive vertical striation visible in the curtains.

About this fabric

This colourway is not a flat navy: its near-black indigo base is crossed by irregular pale blue-grey and muted teal marks that give the surface a cloudy, mineral character. The vertical pattern varies in density, so some areas read almost solid while others catch the light in cooler, brighter bands. Its substantial, plush appearance makes it particularly convincing on the rounded sofa, where the dark tone gives the upholstery a tailored, enveloping presence. No performance features, composition, width or rub-test data are noted in the supplied specification, so those properties should not be inferred from the image.

How to use it

Set Inaya Indium against pale aqua walls, as shown, to draw out its cool blue undertones without making the room feel flat. Balance the dark upholstery with light timber, soft grey flooring and restrained brass or black metal details.

Use the deep indigo ground to anchor pale aqua rooms, dark wood and brushed metal accents.

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