About this fabric

This Quadretto Blue colourway is built from a tight 1cm by 1cm approx repeat, so the check reads subtle and restrained rather than graphic. The blend of 52% viscose, 28% cotton and 20% polyester gives the surface a softly mottled weave with a gentle, slightly matte depth across the blue ground. Its 138cm approx width makes it practical for a wide range of furnishing projects, and the balance of fibres suggests a fabric that sits neatly while still retaining a tactile, upholstered feel. With care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a considered upholstery-and-drapery textile with a smart, quietly contemporary character.

How to use it

Use this muted blue check on a tailored armchair, banquette or cushions where the small-scale pattern can add texture without dominating. It pairs well with chalk white, pale oak and deeper navy for a calm, layered room scheme.

A neat small-scale check in a cool denim blue that feels tailored and easy to layer.

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