Name: Babylon Indigo
Brand: Porter & Stone

Misc Fabric

Babylon Indigo is a richly textured abstract fabric with a dark indigo ground and a fine, light-catching contrast across the surface. The repeating motif reads almost like layered brush marks or pebble-like stippling, giving the design a vivid sense of movement.

About this fabric

Woven in 95% polyester and 5% lurex, this 140cm-wide fabric has a subtle metallic trace that lifts the deep navy ground without making it feel shiny. The 24cm pattern repeat creates a bold, rhythmic sweep of the abstract motif, which appears in a dusky indigo and tan palette in the image. Its overall effect is smart and slightly dramatic, with the lighter highlights sitting against the dark base to create depth and texture. Care instruction NQT1< is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Babylon Indigo on statement chairs, cushions, or a tailored blind where the indigo ground can anchor the room. It pairs well with warm wood, brass, and soft neutrals to balance the darker, more graphic pattern.

Use this moody indigo weave to add depth without overpowering a room.

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