About this fabric

Woven in 60% linen and 40% cotton, this fabric has the natural, slightly dry handle that shows clearly in the close-striped surface. The repeat is approximately V 11cm / H 12cm, creating a fine rhythm of blue, cream and barely-there warm beige accents across the cloth. In this colourway the blue reads soft and airy, with a washed pastel quality that keeps the overall effect fresh and calm. At approximately 132cm wide, it offers useful versatility for made-to-measure curtains and lighter upholstery pieces, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code plus √BM fire code give practical added reassurance.

How to use it

Use it to introduce gentle colour without overpowering a room; the pale blue stripes feel especially good with white paintwork, limed woods and linen upholstery. It suits informal nautical schemes as well as sharper schemes that need a light, tailored pattern.

A fresh, easy stripe that works well for tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

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