About this fabric

The design is built from tightly spaced linear bands, with elongated oval centres and mirrored chevron-like points visible across the repeat. In this colourway, the blue reads muted and cool rather than bright, while the pale ground lets the darker lines remain crisp without appearing harsh. With a 286 gsm weight and 139 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every 24.5 cm vertically and 23.2 cm horizontally, with a standard length of 40 m.

How to use it

Pair Luster Denim with chalky whites, soft grey and weathered timber to reinforce its cool, washed-denim character. On a sofa or occasional chair, the directional motif adds movement; across curtains, its repeated lines can read as a subtle organic texture from a distance.

Use the cool denim-blue ground and flowing oval motif to bring tailored movement to upholstery, cushions or full-length curtains.

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