Jenson Linen FabricF4773-10

Jenson Blue shows a fine, disciplined chevron check in a cool blue-grey tone. The small-scale pattern reads crisp and understated, with the linen ground giving it a natural, lightly textured finish.

About this fabric

This colourway has a muted, slate-leaning blue appearance, softened by the woven linen texture so the pattern never feels hard or glossy. The tiny chevron check is closely set, with a vertical repeat of 0cm and horizontal repeat of approximately 1cm, creating a tight, orderly surface. Woven in 100% linen and approximately 144cm wide, it has the balance and versatility to suit both upholstery and drapery applications. The overall effect is smart rather than showy, with enough depth to hold interest at close range while still reading calm from across a room.

How to use it

Use Jenson Blue on a slim sofa, accent chair or tailored curtains where its cool, muted tone can sit comfortably with oak, chalk white or smoky grey. It is especially effective in rooms that need pattern without brightness.

A restrained blue that works neatly on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

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