About this fabric

This 100% linen fabric from Colefax and Fowler shows a small repeating block-print design with a V 15cm / H 15cm approx repeat and a width of 135cm approx. In this colourway, the navy print reads cool and grounded against the softer beige background, with the linen giving the surface a dry, natural character. The motif sits in tight rows, so the overall effect is orderly rather than busy, and the darker blue dots give the pattern its strongest definition. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a practical textile with a smart decorative finish.

How to use it

Use Ashmead Navy on a tailored armchair, ottoman or Roman blind where the crisp navy motif can add pattern without overwhelming the room. It works especially well with pale wood, chalky paint colours and other understated linens.

A crisp navy print that adds structure without feeling heavy.

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