About this fabric

The fabric has a quiet, brushed-looking surface with fine horizontal tonal variation rather than a defined motif, giving the colour depth without visual busyness. Its composition is 45% Cotton, 40% Viscose and 15% Polyester, with a 137 cm (53.82") width. Rated to 50,000 Martindale, it is specified for Curtains, Loose Upholstery, Fixed Upholstery and Bedspreads. The dense-looking, adaptable cloth suits both structured seating and softly falling window treatments, while its deep blue-charcoal tone brings a cooler, more understated mood.

How to use it

Use Bray Indigo on a buttoned chair, sofa or upholstered bed where its smoky depth can read as sophisticated rather than stark black. It also works as a full-length curtain or bedspread, especially alongside pale stone, chalky grey and warm timber.

A deep, cool indigo with softly mottled tonal texture, suitable for tailored upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Bray Indigo 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.
