About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Selma Mer has a plain, close-grained texture and no visible repeat, giving the colour a clean, continuous appearance across the cloth. The muted blue sits between denim and slate, with a slightly softened, matte finish that keeps it from reading too bright. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical furnishing width for made-to-measure projects. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make it suitable for interiors where a natural linen look is wanted with straightforward specification.

How to use it

Use this cool blue on relaxed armchairs, cushions, or full-length curtains where a calm, tailored look is needed. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky white, and deeper navy accents.

A calm denim-blue linen that works beautifully on loose upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Selma Mer 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.
