About this fabric
This colourway is woven with a fine herringbone effect that is visible across the full swatch, creating a neat, textured surface rather than a flat solid. The blue is softened with a greyed, slightly chalky cast, so it feels cooler and more restrained than a brighter sky or denim shade. At approximately 138cm wide, the Hudson quality is made up of 70% cotton, 19% acrylic, 7% linen and 4% polyester, giving it a practical woven handle with a natural-looking finish. The tiny repeat of approximately V 1cm / H 1cm keeps the design discreet and easy to place on a range of furniture or window treatments. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BH are supplied for reference.
How to use it
Use this soft blue to bring a calm, smart note to upholstery, especially with pale oak, brushed steel or chalky neutrals. It also works well at the window where the muted tone can sit comfortably alongside white or stone walls.
A cool, understated blue that works neatly across tailored upholstery and relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with
Raoul Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
