About this fabric
This Embury Blue colourway shows a delicate vertical stripe effect, with narrow blue-grey lines sitting over a whisper-soft pale ground. The overall look is cool and lightly faded rather than saturated, which suits the fabric’s refined, quietly textured surface. It is a 144cm-wide fabric composed of 44% viscose, 25% linen, 22% cotton, 6% acrylic and 3% polyester, giving it a natural-looking hand with a little added practicality. With a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, the stripe reads as an uninterrupted linear texture across the width. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BH fire code make it a useful choice for considered interior schemes.
How to use it
Use it for smart blinds, tailored curtains or upholstery on a small-scale occasional chair where the pale blue can keep the room feeling fresh. It pairs particularly well with chalky whites, bleached wood and soft grey linens.
A refined pale blue that works well on tailored seating or relaxed curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Embury 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.
