Saxon Blue is a pale, cool blue-grey woven with a softly mottled surface. Fine horizontal and vertical threads give the close-up a quiet, linen-like texture rather than a bold printed motif.

About this fabric

This colourway has a restrained blue-grey tone, softened by tiny cream and taupe flecks that break up the surface. Its close, lightly irregular weave catches the light in fine horizontal bands, giving the cloth depth without a strong printed pattern. The composition is 44% viscose, 21% linen, 13% polyester, 6% wool, 13% cotton and 3% nylon, supplied at 137 cm wide. It is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, with a 30,000 Martindale rub test.

How to use it

Use the cool, muted blue-grey on a relaxed sofa, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, pale stone and weathered timber to preserve its understated depth.

A versatile, softly textured blue-grey weave for upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Saxon 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.
