About this fabric

Lucena Blue from the Sandford collection by Colefax and Fowler is a woven fabric with a repeat of approximately V 12cm / H 7cm and a width of approximately 138cm. Its blend of 42% viscose, 20% polyester, 17% cotton, 17% linen and 4% polyamide gives the cloth a refined, lightly nubby handle that suits a range of interior uses. In the swatch, the colour sits between pale blue, soft grey and a hint of sage, with the darker threads creating a neat grid-like texture rather than a bold pattern. The overall effect is calm and tailored, and the Q 8 < T 3 care code and √BM fire code complete the practical specification.

How to use it

Use Lucena Blue on a clean-lined armchair, bench seat or tailored curtains where its cool, low-contrast blue will keep the scheme fresh. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and deeper navy accents.

A versatile blue-grey weave that works neatly on both tailored upholstery and relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Lucena Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
