About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, restrained blue with a greyed, weathered quality rather than a bright maritime note. The close weave creates a neat, small-scale texture across the cloth, and the finish looks dry and lightly mottled in the light. It is composed of 39% viscose, 33% linen, 15% polyester, 9% cotton and 4% polyacrylic, with an approximate width of 145cm and a vertical/horizontal repeat of 0cm, so it presents as a plain woven textile rather than a patterned design. The structure and handle suggest a versatile fabric that can be used comfortably for both upholstery and drapery, while the √CH fire code adds practical reassurance.

How to use it

Use it for tailored loose covers, smart bedroom curtains or a simple armchair where the muted blue can sit easily with oak, chalk white and soft stone. Its cool, low-contrast tone also works well as a backdrop to brass, blackened metal or natural linen accents.

A cool, understated blue that works neatly on seating or relaxed 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.
