Name: Quinton Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler

Kelsea FabricF4672-05

Quinton Blue presents a quiet, linear stripe with a washed blue-grey character against a pale ground. The effect is crisp but softened by the slubby linen blend, giving the surface a gently worn, textural feel.

About this fabric

This Kelsea fabric is composed of 78% Linen, 14% Viscose, 5% Polyester and 3% Acrylic, with an approximate width of 140cm and a vertical repeat of 5cm. The weave shows fine, evenly spaced blue-grey lines running across a warm off-white ground, creating a restrained striped rhythm rather than a bold contrast. The linen content gives the cloth a slightly dry, natural handle, while the viscose and synthetics help the surface read a little smoother and more stable. With its smart but understated colouring, Quinton Blue feels calm and tailored rather than bright or nautical.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored armchair, bench seat or roman blind where the soft blue-grey stripe can add structure without dominating the room. It pairs well with chalky whites, weathered oak and deeper navy accents.

A refined blue-grey stripe that works neatly on tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

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