About this fabric
Dexter Blue from the Romilly collection by Colefax and Fowler is composed of 47% cotton, 40% viscose and 13% polyester, with an approximate width of 134cm and a vertical and horizontal repeat of 22cm. In this colourway the design reads as pale blue set against creamy neutral grounds, with the woven pattern giving it a gently striated, almost rippling surface. The blue is cool and airy rather than vivid, so the overall effect stays calm even though the motif is energetic. It is suitable for schemes that want pattern without heavy contrast, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code plus √BM fire code make the specification easy to note for project use.
How to use it
Use Dexter Blue on a statement chair, cushions or relaxed curtains where the blue-and-sand palette can soften stronger colours. It works especially well with washed oak, chalk white and muted grey-blue paint.
A fresh blue-and-sand weave that feels calm and tailored in either soft furnishings or light upholstery.

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