About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a substantial 142cm width and has a repeat of approximately V 36cm / H 14cm, which helps define the alternating stripe structure visible in the swatch. The composition combines 52% Cotton, 19% Viscose, 14% Linen, 6% Wool, 5% Polyester and 4% Acrylic, giving the cloth a softly nubbly handle with a slightly dry, textured surface. In this colourway the blue reads muted and cool rather than bright, sitting between duck egg and greyed denim, while the ivory ground and sandy detailing keep the pattern light. The repeated narrow borders and tiny woven motifs add a refined, almost archive-like character that suits the Colefax and Fowler aesthetic. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √BH are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Sylvestra Blue on a tailored armchair, small sofa or window treatment where its gentle blue-grey tone can soften walnut, oak or painted whitework. It pairs especially well with chalky neutrals and brushed brass, letting the striped rhythm do the visual work without overpowering a room.

A restrained blue stripe with pale ground tones that works neatly across upholstery and drapery.

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.
