About this fabric

The pattern combines saturated and softly washed blue marks, giving the design depth while keeping the ivory background visible between the vertical clusters. Small marine creatures, starfish and fine, branching foliage bring movement across the surface, with the blue reading crisp and cool rather than warm or muted. At 286gsm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. It has a 137cm usable width, with a 67.5cm vertical repeat and a 68.5cm horizontal repeat to consider when pattern matching.

How to use it

Use Seaforest Blue to bring cool coastal colour into a light room: it would make an expressive accent chair or headboard, while full-height curtains would showcase the repeated underwater columns. Pair the ivory ground with pale timber, chalky walls and restrained blue accessories so the marine detail remains the focus.

The cool marine-blue pattern on an ivory ground brings a detailed underwater feeling to upholstery, cushions or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

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