Imari Indigo

Marsan FabricM4116-01

Imari Indigo pairs a painterly, Japanese-inspired motif with a cool indigo ground and bright azure accents. The cream linen background keeps the design airy, while the deep blue blocks and finely detailed medallions give it a collected, decorative feel.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 132cm wide, this Marsan fabric has a generous repeat of V 90cm half drop and H 132cm approx, making the large-scale pattern feel deliberately expansive. In this colourway, the indigo reads almost navy in the solid square motifs, while the surrounding blues shift from clear azure to softer cornflower tones against the pale natural ground. The surface shows the matte, slightly slubby character you expect from linen, which helps the printed detail sit with a relaxed, artisanal look rather than a glossy finish. It is a good choice when you want the pattern to feel decorative but not overly bright, because the cream background softens the stronger blue notes.

How to use it

This shade works well in rooms with painted woodwork, navy accents or pale oak, where the cooler blue notes can repeat without feeling heavy. Use it for curtains, a feature chair or cushions if you want the pattern's large rhythm to stand out on a calm neutral ground.

Use for statement drapes or occasional upholstery where the layered indigo, cream and blue palette can be seen clearly.

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.
