About this fabric

This colourway reads as a deep French blue with a slightly muted, cool undertone, and the narrow ribbed weave catches the light in delicate stripes rather than a flat block of colour. It is made from 100% polyester, with a 140cm width and a 0cm pattern repeat, so the texture does the visual work here rather than any printed motif. The close rib gives the fabric a controlled, orderly look that feels smart and practical. With no performance features noted, it is best presented as a clean plain with enough surface interest to lift seating, cushions or accent pieces.

How to use it

Use this blue on a compact armchair, banquette or cushion set where the ribbed texture can be seen up close. It pairs well with pale oak, crisp white and brushed metal for a cool, pulled-together room scheme.

A crisp blue ribbed plain that brings tailored depth to clean-lined upholstery.

Corsica French 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.
