Royce FabricF4933-25

Royce Vintage Blue reads as a cool, softened blue with a lightly heathered surface and a gentle grey undertone. The plain weave gives it a quietly tailored look rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

This colourway has a pale vintage blue tone that feels airy and restrained, with the slightest slate-grey cast in the weave. The surface shows a fine, even texture rather than a bold pattern, so the colour does the visual work here. Woven in a 39% cotton, 24% viscose, 24% wool and 13% polyamide blend, it has a balanced, cloth-like handle that sits comfortably between decorative and practical. The fabric is approximately 140cm wide, with no visible repeat at V 0cm / H 0cm approx, making it straightforward to plan across furniture or curtains. Its cool, softly muted finish gives it a polished but relaxed presence.

How to use it

Use this blue on a neatly upholstered chair, banquette or headboard where the muted tone can sit against pale oak, chalk white or brushed metal. It also works well as drapery when you want a light, cool colour that still feels substantial rather than sheer.

A calm blue-grey with enough body for upholstery and a soft finish that also suits tailored curtains.

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.
