About this fabric

This Albeck fabric from Colefax and Fowler has a tight, small-scale weave that reads as a subtle, almost pin-dotted texture across the surface. The colour sits between pale steel blue and grey, with a muted, chalky cast rather than a vivid blue tone. Its 145cm approximate width and fibre blend of 57% viscose, 21% cotton, 12% linen and 10% polyester make it a versatile textile with a refined handle. The repeat is 0cm vertically and horizontally, so the look remains clean and uninterrupted for straightforward cutting and a calm overall finish. It is suited to upholstery or drapery where a smart, understated blue-grey is wanted.

How to use it

Use Marldon Blue on a sofa, banquette or Roman blinds to bring a cool, tailored feel to a room. It pairs especially well with pale oak, soft white and brushed metal finishes.

A calm blue-grey with enough texture to work beautifully across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Marldon Blue 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.
