Spectrum Denim is a cool, muted blue with a softly rippled surface that gives the plain-looking ground subtle visual movement. Its denim tone reads calm and grounded rather than bright or nautical.

About this fabric

The 271 gsm cloth has a fine, closely textured appearance, with delicate tonal marks visible across the blue ground as the light moves over the surface. The colour sits between slate blue and classic denim, bringing cool depth without becoming dark or dramatic. It is supplied at a 137 cm usable width, with a 36.5 cm vertical repeat and a 34.5 cm horizontal repeat. This mid-weight specification makes Spectrum Denim suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use this muted denim blue on a relaxed armchair, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, warm oak and soft grey-browns. Its cool tone also provides a quiet contrast to rust, tan or natural woven accessories.

A cool, understated denim blue with a fine tonal texture for relaxed upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Spectrum Denim 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.
