About this fabric

Woven in 95% polyester and 5% lurex, this Shimmer FR fabric has a noticeable metallic lift that softens the deep teal base with warm golden flecks. The 24cm vertical repeat gives the pattern a strong, architectural rhythm, while the 140cm width makes it practical for larger cuts. Visually, the colourway sits between blue-green and forest teal, with the lurex adding a drier, slightly luminous surface rather than a high-gloss shine. It is a smart decorative textile with enough body to work across both cushions and curtains, depending on the finished look you want. Care code NQT1< should be followed for cleaning.

How to use it

This teal colourway works well in rooms with walnut, oak or brass, where the warm metallic threads can echo surrounding finishes. Use it to add depth to neutral schemes or to sharpen a scheme layered with tan, ink blue or warm stone.

Pair with warm woods or matte brass to echo the metallic shimmer in the weave.

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.
