Leon Fabric

Carrera Dove Blue is a quietly muted blue-grey with a soft, dove-like cast and a lightly textured plain weave. The finish feels restrained and even, letting the colour do the talking.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, Carrera Dove Blue has a practical, versatile handle suited to both upholstery and drapery. The fabric shows a fine, closely woven texture with no repeat, so the surface reads as calm and continuous rather than patterned. In this colourway, the blue is softened by grey undertones, giving it a cool, dusty depth that feels more tailored than bright. The subtle weave catches the light gently, adding a quiet grain without disturbing the overall simplicity. Care instructions AQW1< should be followed for cleaning.

How to use it

Use this shade on an armchair, cushion set or Roman blind where its cool blue-grey tone can settle into a scheme without dominating it. It pairs especially well with white, putty, driftwood and pale oak finishes.

A calm blue-grey that works neatly with pale woods, chalky neutrals and brushed metals.

Pairs well with

Carrera Dove Blue 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.
