About this fabric

This colourway reads as a rich blue with navy and midnight undertones, lifted by a subtle crosshatch texture that gives the surface gentle depth. The plain design is shown without any visible repeat, which keeps the look clean and contemporary. At approximately 140cm wide and woven in 42% cotton, 38% viscose, 15% polyester and 5% linen, it has the balance of softness and structure needed for versatile interior use. The cloth’s calm, slightly matte finish makes the blue feel grounded rather than bright, so it works well when you want colour without glare.

How to use it

Use this indigo shade on upholstery to sharpen pale woods, chalky neutrals or brushed brass. It also makes elegant curtains where the darker blue can draw out a cocooning, tailored mood.

A versatile indigo with a refined linen-like look for tailored upholstery or elegant drapery.

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.
