Appledore Denim

Misc Fabric

Appledore Denim pairs a deep denim-blue ground with a fine, pale trailing vine that feels crisp and quietly decorative. The small-scale pattern reads orderly from a distance and more intricate up close.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a dark, cool denim blue base scattered with a delicate white vine-and-berry motif, giving the design a fresh but understated contrast. The 140cm width makes it practical for a range of interior projects, while the 25% linen, 25% viscose, 25% cotton and 25% polyester composition suggests a balanced textile with a natural look and added stability. Its 23.5cm vertical and 27cm horizontal repeat creates a regular flowing trail that suits tailored upholstery or structured curtains. The overall effect is smart and composed rather than bold, with the pale detail standing out cleanly against the saturated blue ground.

How to use it

Use it with painted timber, chalky whites and brushed metals to sharpen the blue ground, or pair it with pale oak and stone for a softer coastal feel. The restrained scale makes it especially effective on armchairs, cushions or relaxed curtains where the pattern can be appreciated without overwhelming the room.

The cool denim ground keeps the delicate trailing motif crisp and versatile for both curtains and upholstery.

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