About this fabric
This Chester fabric by Colefax and Fowler is supplied in a 143cm approx width and has a zero repeat, making the subtle surface texture the main feature. The composition is 44% Cotton, 28% Linen, 14% Wool, 13% Polyester and 1% Polyamide, which suits the slightly dry, gently slubbed hand visible in the cloth. In this colourway, the slate blue is softened with grey and a touch of mineral green, so it feels cool and restrained rather than bright. The plain weave shows fine vertical striations and a lightly heathered appearance that gives the fabric depth without introducing pattern.
How to use it
Use it on a sofa, armchair or headboard where you want colour that feels composed and easy to live with. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky whites and deeper navy accents for a layered, tonal scheme.
A quietly tailored slate blue that brings a calm, refined finish to seating or relaxed drapery.

Pairs well with
Croft Slate 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.
