Dart Stripe Blue

Hector FabricF3514-07

Dart Stripe Blue is a fine, neatly spaced stripe in a cool powder blue that reads light and fresh on the cloth. The narrow vertical lines give it a crisp, tailored feel without becoming high-contrast.

About this fabric

Woven in 55% linen and 45% cotton, this fabric has the relaxed look of natural fibre with a clean, controlled stripe that sits at approximately 0.5cm horizontally and 0cm vertically in repeat. The blue is pale and airy, softened by a hint of grey so it feels calm rather than bright, while the slender stripe keeps the surface visually ordered. At approximately 146cm wide, it is a practical width for both upholstery and drapery applications. The overall effect is smart, understated and easy to layer with plain linens, painted timber and other cool neutrals.

How to use it

This cool powder blue works well in rooms that need a light, tailored touch, especially when paired with white, stone or pale oak. It is particularly effective on armchairs, cushions or blinds where the fine stripe can read clearly without dominating the scheme.

Use for tailored upholstery or lined curtains where a crisp, understated stripe is wanted.

Pairs well with

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