Protini Denim

About this fabric

The design is arranged as a repeating botanical trail, with thistle-like flower heads, clustered blue berries and long outlined leaves picked out in denim blue, pale blue, olive and warm taupe. The cool cream background keeps the pattern open, while the muted blue avoids a bright or heavily saturated look. With a supplied weight of 288gsm, the fabric is a versatile mid-weight for both upholstery and drapery. It has a 125cm usable width, a 78cm vertical repeat, a 62.5cm horizontal repeat and a standard length of 35m.

How to use it

Use Protini Denim where its cool cream and faded blue palette can lighten a room without losing pattern, such as a tailored armchair, relaxed sofa cushions or full-length curtains. Pair it with pale oak, chalky walls and soft grey-blue or olive accents to draw out the quieter tones in the leaves and stems.

The cool cream ground and muted denim botanicals bring a fresh, tailored character to upholstery, curtains and cushions.

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