Lux Boucle in Oxford Blue is a richly dark blue plain with a soft boucle surface and a tightly speckled texture. The colour reads cool and tailored, with a quietly mottled finish that gives the swatch subtle depth.

About this fabric

This Fryett's Fabrics cloth has a width of 140cm, a zero pattern repeat and a composition of 94% polyester and 6% cotton. The surface shown here is a fine boucle texture rather than a flat weave, which gives the Oxford Blue colourway a gently grainy look. In the image, the blue sits firmly in the deep end of the spectrum, softened by charcoal-like undertones and tiny lighter flecks that lift it in the light. With no performance features noted, it presents as a versatile decorative textile for schemes that need a smart, understated navy tone.

How to use it

Use this Oxford Blue on an armchair, ottoman or banquette where the textured surface can catch the light. It works especially well with warm woods, pale neutrals and black metal details to sharpen the depth of the colour.

Pair with pale oak, chalk white or brushed brass for a crisp tailored scheme.

Pairs well with

Lux Boucle Oxford 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.
