About this fabric

This Irving colourway has a small-scale woven texture that reads as a neat grid from a distance and as a mélange of blue, ivory and soft grey up close. The supplied composition is 38% Linen, 30% Viscose, 26% Cotton and 6% Polyester, which suits the cloth’s slightly dry, refined handle and subtle surface movement. With an approximate width of 138cm and a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it is straightforward to plan for cutting and matching. The colour sits in a cool, diluted blue range rather than a strong denim tone, so it feels airy and composed rather than bold.

How to use it

Use it where you want a clean blue that stays calm in daylight, such as upholstered dining chairs, a tailored sofa or relaxed curtains. It pairs neatly with chalk whites, pale timber and deeper navy accents.

A restrained blue weave that feels calm and tailored on seating or curtains.

Pairs well with

Laurie 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.
