Name: Nora Denim
Brand: Clarke & Clarke
SKU: CCF0676-01

Nora Denim pairs broad, muted denim-blue stripes with delicate ivory pinstripes in a fine, lightly sheer ground. The cool blue has a soft, washed depth that keeps the vertical design calm rather than high-contrast.

About this fabric

The design is built from wide denim-blue vertical bands separated by narrow ivory areas filled with closely spaced fine lines, creating a measured stripe with visible detail at close range. Its fine 129gsm construction reads as lightweight and fluid, making it best suited to drapery rather than upholstery. With a 307cm usable width and a 307cm vertical repeat, it can create tall, continuous curtain panels while retaining the stripe's strong vertical direction. The horizontal pattern repeat is 79cm, and the standard length is 40m.

How to use it

Use Nora Denim for full-height curtains where its cool blue-grey tone can soften pale walls, chalky neutrals or natural timber. The muted shade also suits a layered window treatment when you want privacy without introducing a heavy visual block.

A cool, lightly sheer stripe for full-length curtains and relaxed window treatments.

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