Sackville Sky Blue

Name: Sackville Sky Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler

Sackville Sky Blue is a quietly fresh stripe with a soft, airy presence. The fine vertical lines read as pale sky blue against an almost silvery ground, giving the fabric a light, crisp look.

About this fabric

This colourway combines a delicate blue stripe with a pale neutral ground, creating a cool and understated effect rather than a strong contrast. The vertical repeat is 0cm with the stripe running at approximately 1cm, which keeps the pattern neat and disciplined in appearance. Woven in 84% viscose and 16% linen, it has the gentle softness and subtle sheen you would expect from a refined furnishing fabric, while the 144cm approximate width makes it practical for larger projects. Its restrained palette and fine scale give it an easy, versatile character that feels smart without becoming formal.

How to use it

Use this soft blue stripe on a tailored armchair, bench or roman blind where the fine pattern can add quiet structure. It pairs especially well with white paintwork, pale oak and other chalky blues for a fresh, coastal interior.

A cool, airy stripe that suits tailored upholstery or light curtains with a calm, coastal feel.

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