Melbourne Stripe Blue

Eldon FabricBP11076.2

Melbourne Stripe Blue combines cool powder-blue vertical bands with ivory, taupe and fine darker lines. The varied stripe widths give the design a softly irregular, woven character rather than a rigid ladder effect.

About this fabric

The colourway has a fresh, cool tone, with powder blue set against a warm ivory ground and narrow taupe-grey accents. Its closely spaced vertical stripes create gentle movement, while the subtle textile texture keeps the surface from appearing flat. Made from 82% viscose and 18% linen, the 137 cm wide fabric is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 20,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on seating as well as softer decorative applications.

How to use it

Use the cool blue and ivory palette to brighten a tailored armchair, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing it with warm wood and soft taupe upholstery for balance. The vertical direction also suits curtains and bedspreads where a little visual height is welcome.

Cool powder-blue stripes bring a fresh, tailored look to curtains, upholstery and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Melbourne Stripe 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.
