About this fabric

This Ella colourway has a dry-looking, lightly textured face that softens the depth of the blue and keeps it from feeling flat. The 40% cotton, 40% viscose and 20% linen composition gives it a natural, elegant handle, while the 134cm approximate width makes it practical for a wide range of interiors. With no repeat at approximately V 0cm / H 0cm, the surface reads as an even plain rather than a pattern-led design. The tone is especially appealing in this cool slate shade, which feels composed, slightly smoky and easy to pair with pale woods, chalky neutrals or deeper navy accents.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a clean-lined armchair, bench or fitted drapery where the cool blue-grey can sharpen surrounding neutrals. It works particularly well with brushed metal, stone and soft white for a crisp, contemporary scheme.

A cool slate-blue cloth that brings a calm, tailored note to both seating and curtains.

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.
