About this fabric

Woven in 84% linen and 16% viscose, this fabric has the fresh, lightly textured handle you would expect from a linen-led cloth, softened by the viscose content. The repeat is approximately 4cm vertically and horizontally, creating a neat micro-check that reads as delicate from a distance and more structured up close. In this colourway, the pale blue threads sit over a muted grey-beige ground, so the overall effect is calm, airy and slightly weathered rather than bright. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical width for made-up furnishings, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code plus √BM fire code are useful technical details for specification.

How to use it

Use Sidbury Blue where you want a subtle pattern that still feels tailored: it suits slim blinds, cushions, and occasional chairs especially well. Its cool, misty tone pairs naturally with chalk whites, pale oak and deeper navy accents.

A restrained blue-grey check 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 Sidbury 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.
