Kemble Soft Blue

Baker House Plain & Stripe II FabricBF11046.605

Kemble Soft Blue appears as a cool, softened blue-grey rather than a bright blue. A barely varied plain weave gives the close-up surface a restrained linen-like grain, with subtle tonal shifts across the cloth.

About this fabric

The surface is a quiet, plain blue-grey, with a cool cast that becomes gently lighter where the weave catches the light. Its fine, slightly irregular woven grain adds tactile depth without introducing a visible motif or stripe. Made from 55% linen and 45% cotton, it is 137 cm (53.82") wide. The supplied usage is curtains and bedspreads; care instructions specify professional dry cleaning and advise against washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey for full-length curtains where its muted tone can soften a room without becoming a strong colour statement. It also suits bedspreads in schemes built around pale grey, chalky white or other cool neutrals.

A cool blue-grey plain weave for quietly tailored curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Kemble Soft 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.
