About this fabric

This colourway is plain rather than patterned, with a subtle, even weave that becomes most apparent around the swatch edges. Its cool blue undertone prevents the shade from reading as flat black, while the matte finish gives it a composed, tailored quality. The dark tone has considerable visual depth and will provide a strong, low-contrast foundation for upholstery. No performance features, composition, width or rub-test data are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Tela Italiana Navy on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard when a room needs a cool, near-black blue anchor. Balance its depth with chalky neutrals, pale timber or brushed metal so the navy remains rich rather than heavy.

Use this cool ink-navy plain weave to bring depth and tailored contrast to upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Tela Italiana Navy 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.
