About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring approximately 135cm wide, Ellis has a neat, lightweight appearance that suits both soft furnishing and light upholstery applications. The stripe repeat is a very small vertical 0cm by 1cm approx, creating a precise pinstripe effect across the cloth. This Cobalt Blue colourway reads as a clear, cool blue with a pale ground, so the contrast feels fresh rather than heavy. The surface looks smooth and close-woven, with enough structure to keep the stripe definition crisp. Care code C 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this blue-and-white stripe to sharpen a bedroom scheme, a study chair or relaxed café seating. It works especially well with white paint, pale oak and deeper navy accents for a nautical but not overtly themed finish.

The crisp pinstripe brings a fresh, tailored feel to seats, cushions or blinds.

Pairs well with

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