Rory Navy

Name: Rory Navy
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4639-07

Rory Navy is a finely textured weave in a cool, muted navy, with lighter yarns crossing through to give the surface a softly speckled, tailored look. The overall effect is understated rather than inky, with a dry, cloth-like finish that reads smart and versatile.

About this fabric

This Brett Weaves fabric from Colefax and Fowler is a 143cm-wide cloth with no vertical or horizontal repeat, making the small-scale weave feel clean and continuous across a piece. The composition combines 40% cotton, 26% viscose, 23% polyester, 9% linen, 1% polyamide and 1% acrylic, which helps explain the tactile, slightly slubby surface visible in the swatch. In Rory Navy, the blue sits in a restrained mid-to-dark register, softened by pale flecks that lift the colour and stop it from reading flat. The result is a practical, textural weave with enough depth for seating while still feeling refined.

How to use it

Use this navy on a sofa, banquette or occasional chair where the woven texture can add interest without pattern. It pairs well with chalk whites, pale woods and brushed metal for a calm, contemporary scheme.

A cool navy weave that feels tailored and easy to anchor with crisp linen or pale oak.

Pairs well with

Rory Navy 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.
