About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Batavia Blue is visibly formed from contrasting blue and pale threads arranged in a compact check. The small broken lines and varied thread direction create a gently uneven texture, with the blue reading as muted and slightly greyed rather than bright or saturated. Pale flecks lift the darker structure across the swatch, giving the colourway a balanced, quietly graphic character. No further specification data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Batavia Blue where a room needs cool, tailored texture without a strong block of colour: it would suit a structured armchair, headboard, Roman blind or full-length curtain. Pair its blue-grey tones with chalky whites, soft grey and pale timber for a calm, layered scheme.

Its cool, softly contrasted check brings tailored texture to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

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.
