Wilde Blue pairs a tiny animal motif with a clean ivory ground, giving the fabric a light, lively look. The inky blue markings feel neatly distributed across the surface, so the design reads crisp rather than busy.

About this fabric

This Casey fabric has a compact repeating animal pattern with a V 9cm / H 18cm approx repeat, set across a width of 142cm approx. The 63% viscose, 22% acrylic and 15% cotton composition gives the cloth a smooth, softly handled appearance rather than a heavy textured surface. In this colourway, the motif is rendered in deep blue-black against a pale ivory base, creating a smart contrast that feels sharper than a soft tonal print. The small-scale repeat keeps the surface animated without overwhelming a scheme, and the overall effect is fresh, tailored and easy to place.

How to use it

Use Wilde Blue on a tailored occasional chair, cushion or roman blind where the small-scale pattern can be appreciated up close. The cool blue-on-ivory palette sits especially well with pale woods, navy accents and crisp painted finishes.

A compact animal spot that brings crisp contrast and a tailored edge to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

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