About this fabric

Woven from 100% polyester, this 140 cm-wide fabric is specified for fixed upholstery. Its 45,000 Martindale rub test makes it a practical choice for frequently used upholstered seating. The surface appears softly textured rather than sharply patterned, with diffuse tonal variation that catches the light gently across the swatch. After care is by hand wash or professional dry cleaning; it should not be tumble dried or bleached and may be cool ironed.

How to use it

Use the cool airforce blue-grey on a structured sofa, dining chair or window seat, pairing it with charcoal, chalky white and pale timber. Its restrained mottling adds depth without introducing a visible repeat.

A cool, softly mottled blue-grey for tailored fixed upholstery and calm contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

Lexham Airforce 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.
