Alderton Denim

Avebury FabricCCF0235-02

Alderton Denim sets deep, cool denim-blue stripes against an ivory ground, with slim pale-blue accents adding definition between the broader bands. Its close woven surface has a fine herringbone effect that gives the colour extra depth.

About this fabric

The broad vertical bands read as a muted, slightly softened denim blue rather than a bright navy, while the ivory stripes keep the overall design crisp. Narrow pale-blue lines and occasional warm neutral threads bring subtle variation to the alternating stripe layout. The 373 gsm weight and 137 cm usable width make this a substantial woven suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Supplied pattern data records a 0 cm vertical repeat and an 8.7 cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use the cool denim tone on a tailored armchair, bench or sofa, balancing it with ivory upholstery details and pale blue accessories. As curtains, the vertical stripe can bring a clean, structured line to rooms with natural timber or warm neutral finishes.

A substantial denim-blue stripe with a fine herringbone texture, suitable for tailored upholstery and full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

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