Martello Ocean is a cool, muted blue woven fabric with a softly irregular surface that gives the colour gentle depth. Fine lighter and darker threads create a subtly weathered, tactile appearance across the plain ground.

About this fabric

The ocean-blue tone reads calm and slightly smoky, rather than bright or highly saturated, while the close weave catches the light in fine vertical and horizontal variations. This fabric weighs 300gsm and has a 144cm usable width, giving it a versatile mid-weight presence for upholstery or drapery. Its vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0cm, so the textured plain surface can be used without pattern matching. The softly broken weave adds interest while keeping the overall look clean and understated.

How to use it

Use Martello Ocean on a contemporary armchair, bench or loose-lined curtain where its cool blue tone can sit alongside chalky whites, pale woods and warm neutrals. Its lightly mottled texture also works well as a calm contrast to sharper geometric patterns.

A cool, textured ocean blue with enough visual depth for upholstery while remaining suitable for curtains.

Pairs well with

Martello Ocean is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
