About this fabric

This colourway sits on a pale neutral ground, lifted by slender blue lines and a more pronounced blue-and-cream ornamental stripe that gives the design its rhythm. The surface reads as a woven cloth rather than a print, with a slightly textured handle suggested by the cotton, viscose and linen blend. At approximately 140cm wide, with a vertical repeat of 3cm and a horizontal repeat of 35cm, it is a practical striped fabric for coordinated schemes. The composition of 42% viscose, 38% cotton, 16% polyester and 4% linen gives it a balanced feel, and the √CH fire code is noted for specification purposes.

How to use it

Use this blue on bench seating, occasional chairs or relaxed curtains where a crisp stripe will sharpen pale wood, painted joinery or coastal-inspired neutrals. Its dusty tone keeps the look calm rather than nautical, so it works well in rooms that need pattern without strong contrast.

A refined stripe that feels crisp and calm, with enough body for upholstery or tailored curtains.

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