About this fabric

Drayton Stripe Blue from the Eaton Checks and Stripes collection by Colefax and Fowler is a fabric with a vertically repeating stripe at approximately 12cm horizontal repeat and a width of around 140cm. The cloth is composed of 84% viscose and 16% linen, giving the surface a smooth but slightly textural hand that reads well in the swatch image. The blue here is muted and airy, closer to a weathered denim or pale slate-blue, while the narrow ivory stripes brighten the design without making it stark. With no performance features noted and a fire code of √BM, it is a versatile textile for schemes that want a neat stripe with a gentle, classic tone.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a tailored armchair, banquette or roman blind where its cool blue ground can sit comfortably with pale timber, chalky paint and natural linens. The restrained contrast makes it especially effective in rooms that need pattern without visual weight.

A crisp blue-and-ivory stripe that feels tailored yet easy to live with.

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