Lytton Blue

Chilgrove FabricF4881-01

Lytton Blue shows Chilgrove as a refined vertical stripe with a pale, airy ground and narrow blue detailing. The cool blue reads gentle rather than bright, giving the design a crisp but understated presence.

About this fabric

Woven in 94% linen and 6% acrylic, this fabric has the dry, lightly slubbed character you expect from linen, softened by the added acrylic for a little extra stability. The repeat is approx. V 1cm / H 24cm, creating a measured stripe that feels neat and architectural rather than busy. In Lytton Blue, the background appears creamy and muted while the slim blue stripes bring in a soft, powdery freshness with a slightly vintage feel. The pattern has enough structure for tailored drapery and enough body for decorative upholstery where a smart striped effect is wanted.

How to use it

Use Lytton Blue for roman blinds, dining chairs or a pared-back armchair where the vertical stripe can add height and order. Its cool, chalky blue works especially well with white-painted wood, pale greys and natural linen tones.

Pair it with crisp whites or pale oak for a calm, tailored finish.

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