Deauville FabricM4204-03

Deauville Mer pairs a soft denim blue stripe with a clear ivory ground for a fresh, sun-washed look. The broad vertical spacing keeps the design calm and graphic rather than busy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Deauville Mer has the natural slub and dry hand that you can see in the image, giving the blue stripes a lightly textured, relaxed finish. The pattern repeats vertically at 0cm with an approximate 24cm horizontal repeat, creating evenly spaced wide bands that feel crisp and architectural. At approximately 144cm wide, it is well suited to larger upholstery or soft furnishings where the stripe can read cleanly. The cool blue is muted rather than bright, so it sits comfortably against the warm ivory ground and avoids a harsh contrast.

How to use it

This colourway works especially well in rooms that lean coastal, classic, or quietly contemporary, where the soft blue can lift pale woods and painted finishes. Use it on bench cushions, loose covers, or full-length curtains for a fresh striped statement with a relaxed linen character.

Use it for crisp, coastal upholstery or airy curtains with a fresh, unfussy feel.

Pairs well with

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