Chester FabricF4852-01

Hampden Navy is a quietly tailored stripe with a cool, muted navy ground and a softly textured finish. The fine vertical pattern reads crisp from a distance, but up close it has a woven, slightly relaxed character.

About this fabric

Hampden Navy from the Chester collection by Colefax and Fowler is a fabric, not a wallpaper, with a repeat of approximately V 3cm / H 5cm and a width of approximately 145cm. Its composition is 35% Linen, 28% Viscose, 20% Polyester and 17% Cotton, giving the surface a dry, textured handle with a little softness in the weave. The stripe appears as narrow leaf-like columns in pale putty and sage-tinged neutrals against a dusty navy ground, so the overall effect is more subdued than bright. The colourway has a slightly weathered depth that keeps the pattern smart without feeling severe.

How to use it

Use it on a buttoned armchair, sofa or dining banquette where the small stripe can add structure without overpowering the room. It also suits curtains in a navy-and-neutral scheme, especially alongside oak, painted timber and brushed metal finishes.

A restrained navy stripe with a slightly softened, upholstered feel that works beautifully across tailored seating and elegant curtains.

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.
