Sea Aster Blue

Canton FabricBF11125.2

Sea Aster Blue pairs a warm ivory ground with slender, repeating botanical sprays in cool blue-grey, creating a light, quietly detailed surface. The foliage is arranged in graceful vertical columns, with fine textural marks that soften the pattern’s outline.

About this fabric

This linen-rich fabric is composed of 76% linen, 17% viscose, 4% spun polyester, 2% cotton and 1% nylon. Its 123 cm width carries a botanical repeat measuring 38 cm vertically by 41 cm horizontally, with each muted blue-grey spray set clearly against the pale cream background. The cool, slightly faded blue tone gives the design an airy, composed character rather than a strongly saturated look. It is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery; professional dry cleaning is required, and it must not be washed, bleached or ironed.

How to use it

Use Sea Aster Blue at a window to let its pale ground and cool foliage read softly in daylight, or on a fixed seat where the vertical sprays add gentle height without overwhelming the room. It works especially well with chalky creams, weathered blue-greys and natural timber.

A cool, quietly decorative linen blend that brings delicate blue-grey foliage to curtains or tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sea Aster Blue without fighting it. 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.
