Montaigne Bleu Clair

Montaigne FabricM4196-02

Montaigne Bleu Clair shows a soft, powdery blue tone woven with a fine crosshatched texture. The overall effect is light and quiet, with just enough colour to feel fresh rather than stark.

About this fabric

This Montaigne colourway has a delicate, pale blue ground broken up by tiny flecks of ivory, grey and muted beige, giving the surface a crisp woven look. The 57% cotton, 31% polyester and 12% acrylic composition helps explain its slightly structured handle and neatly defined texture. With an approximate width of 140cm and a repeat of V 5cm / H 4cm, it is suited to tailored making where the small-scale woven effect can be appreciated. The cool, airy shade reads calm and understated, with a soft linen-like appearance rather than a flat solid.

How to use it

Use this colourway to brighten a bedroom, study or sitting room where you want a calm blue with texture and restraint. It pairs especially well with pale timber, chalky whites and brushed metal finishes.

A light, airy blue that works beautifully where you want texture without visual weight.

Pairs well with

Montaigne Bleu Clair 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.
