Name: Hampstead Blue
Brand: Porter & Stone

Plains & Semi Plains Fabric

Hampstead Blue reads as a cool blue-grey with a finely striated, almost weathered surface. The close, vertical texture gives the colour a softly mottled depth rather than a flat plain finish.

About this fabric

This Hampstead Blue colourway has a restrained slate-blue cast, lifted by pale grey threads that catch the light and break up the surface. The weave appears fine and tightly worked, with a subtle linear texture that keeps the look smart rather than heavy. As part of Porter & Stone’s Plains & Semi Plains collection, it is presented here as Fabric with no performance features noted. The overall effect is calm and tailored, with enough visual movement to add interest without reading as patterned.

How to use it

Use this muted blue-grey on an upholstered armchair, banquette or headboard where the crisp texture can be appreciated up close. It also pairs well with pale timber, chalky neutrals and soft navy accents for a cool, composed room scheme.

A cool blue-grey with fine texture that works neatly across seating and soft furnishings.

Hampstead 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.
