Northia Denim/Linen

Marianne Fabric FabricCCF0714-01

Northia Denim/Linen pairs a softly textured, linen-toned ground with branching sprays of faded denim-blue leaves. The cool, weathered palette gives the botanical pattern a calm, gently timeworn character.

About this fabric

This 245gsm woven fabric shows layered blue-grey leaves and fine branching stems against a pale natural ground, with subtle tonal variation across the surface. Its 139cm usable width provides a practical working span for both upholstery and drapery applications. The botanical repeat measures 82cm vertically by 69.5cm horizontally, giving the leafy arrangement a noticeable but not overwhelming scale. Light catches the textured weave unevenly, softening the contrast between the cool denim motifs and the warmer linen-toned background.

How to use it

Use Northia Denim/Linen on a relaxed armchair, roman blind or full-length curtain where its cool denim foliage can sit against chalky neutrals, pale timber and natural textures. Its muted blue tone also works well as a gentle accent in a bedroom or country-style sitting room.

Use the softly faded denim leaves to bring gentle pattern and cool, natural colour to upholstery, cushions or curtains.

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