About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, dusty blue with pale grey notes running through the weave, so it feels gentle and relaxed rather than saturated. The plain, horizontal-looking texture is clearly visible in the cloth and adds subtle movement without introducing a pattern. Made in a 143cm approx width and woven in 60% viscose, 18% cotton, 17% linen and 5% acrylic, it has the balanced handle of a mid-weight furnishing fabric. The composition helps explain its softly relaxed surface, which catches the light in a quiet, slightly chalky way. With no repeat to consider, it is an easy choice for clean-lined curtains, blinds or upholstery pieces where the texture can speak for itself.

How to use it

Use this blue to cool down timber, stone and oatmeal schemes, or pair it with crisp white for a fresh, tailored look. Its muted depth works especially well in rooms that need colour without visual heaviness.

A calm, versatile blue with a gently textured weave that suits both upholstery and curtains.

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.
