About this fabric

Woven with a vertical 10cm horizontal repeat and a width of approximately 144cm, this Olney stripe has a neat, regular rhythm that suits both upholstered pieces and curtains. The blend of 53% viscose, 35% linen, 6% cotton, 5% polyester and 1% acrylic gives the surface a lightly textured handle with a dry, natural-looking finish. In this blue colourway, the stripe appears muted rather than bright, with a cool, faded quality that softens the contrast and keeps the design understated. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BH are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this blue stripe on a sofa, bench or roman blind where you want a crisp but relaxed note. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and other washed blues for a fresh, layered room.

A restrained blue stripe that feels fresh, tailored and easy to coordinate.

Pairs well with

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