Otley Soft Blue
Hartwell FabricJ0158-03
Otley Soft Blue is a neat, tiny check in a washed powder blue with a pale, airy ground. The close pattern gives it a calm, pin-sharp look that feels light and easy rather than bold.

About this fabric
Woven in 100% cotton, Otley has a fine, classic handle that suits both upholstery and curtains, with a repeat of approximately V 1cm / H 1cm and a width of approximately 135cm. In this colourway the blue reads cool and muted, softened by the pale background so the check appears fresh and understated rather than high-contrast. The small-scale grid gives the cloth a tailored rhythm, while the overall tone stays gentle and breathable. Care code C 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.
How to use it
Use Soft Blue for relaxed upholstered dining chairs, bedside cushions or Roman blinds where the small check can bring quiet structure. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and other soft blues for a fresh, coastal-leaning room.
A crisp, understated check that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or airy curtains.

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