About this fabric

This Roscoe Blue colourway shows a softly irregular, horizontal slub texture that gives the cloth a calm, tailored look rather than a flat finish. The blue reads muted and steely, with greyed undertones and darker navy-flecked lines that add depth across the surface. With a width of approximately 140cm and a composition of 49% viscose, 26% cotton, 15% polyester and 10% linen, it has the balance of body and softness you would expect from a versatile furnishing fabric. The repeat is listed as vertical 0cm / horizontal 0cm approx, which suits the understated, textural effect visible here. It is a smart, restrained colourway that brings definition without feeling bold or bright.

How to use it

Use Roscoe Blue on a chair, sofa, or ottoman when you want a cool, architectural finish, or pair it with pale oak and chalky neutrals to sharpen the slate tone. It also works beautifully as full-length curtains where the subtle texture can soften the room while keeping the look tailored.

A cool slate tone that works well on tailored upholstery or layered 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.
