Olney FabricF4950-02
Durance Blue is a softly muted blue with a fine woven texture and a lightly heathered surface. Its understated finish gives the colour a calm, worn-in elegance rather than a bright, polished look.

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.

Durance Blue 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.
