Iris Bleu Clair is a quiet powder-blue plain with a finely striated surface and a soft, lightly washed appearance. The colour feels cool and airy, with gentle tonal movement rather than a flat solid finish.

About this fabric

This Manuel Canovas fabric is composed of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, and it is shown here as a plain cloth with an approximate repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm. The 138cm approximate width makes it a practical choice for a range of interior projects. Visually, Iris Bleu Clair reads as a muted blue-grey with a pale sky-blue cast, lifted by subtle horizontal striations that give the surface a slightly brushed, textile depth. The finish feels refined rather than glossy, making the colourway look fresh, understated and easy to place in contemporary or classic schemes.

How to use it

Use this soft blue on clean-lined upholstery, Roman blinds or relaxed drapery where its cool tone can sit quietly with white, driftwood and pale grey. It is especially effective in rooms that need colour without visual weight.

A calm powder-blue cloth that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or soft, airy curtains.

Pairs well with

Iris Bleu Clair 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.
