About this fabric

Frances Stripe Blue from the Silvano Stripes collection by Colefax and Fowler has a vertical repeat of approximately 0cm and a horizontal repeat of approximately 5cm, creating a fine, regular stripe across the cloth. The composition is 52% Linen, 42% Viscose and 6% Polyamide, which gives the surface a lightly textured, softly refined handle rather than a flat printed finish. At approximately 148cm wide, it is a practical width for curtains, blinds or upholstery projects where a smart stripe is wanted. The blue here reads cool and gentle rather than vivid, with the linen ground keeping the overall effect fresh and understated. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want a crisp, coastal note without strong contrast: it sits well with painted whites, pale oak and brushed nickel. The soft blue stripe also works neatly on upholstered chairs, Roman blinds or relaxed curtains in bedrooms and sitting rooms.

A crisp, airy stripe that brings a calm tailored finish to relaxed or formal rooms.

Pairs well with

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