Buta Cobalt

Buta Cobalt places a fine, cool blue buta pattern across a clean white ground. The dense repeat reads as an intricate scatter of curled botanical motifs, with a softly textured textile surface visible up close.

About this fabric

The colourway combines a bright white background with pale cobalt-to-turquoise blue detail, giving the pattern a crisp yet gently softened appearance rather than a deep, uniform navy. Small curled buta motifs are packed closely across the face, creating lively surface movement while retaining an overall light impression. At 252 gsm and 137 cm wide, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric for both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every 17.1 cm vertically and 34.3 cm horizontally, while the 38 threads-per-cm construction contributes to its fine-looking texture.

How to use it

Use Buta Cobalt where its cool blue-and-white contrast can brighten a room: full-length curtains, a window seat, or occasional upholstery will show the small repeat clearly without making the scheme feel heavy. Pair it with white, pale blue and natural woven textures to echo the colourway’s fresh, detailed character.

Use the cool blue-and-white pattern to bring crisp, detailed interest to curtains, cushions or lighter upholstery.

Pairs well with

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