About this fabric

The compact pattern forms rows of tiny diamond and scallop-like shapes, with warm copper-brown accents picked out against the blue-grey weave. Its 138 cm width and 10 cm vertical by 6 cm horizontal repeat make the design easy to place across upholstered forms without becoming visually dominant. Composed of 39% viscose, 39% polyester, 12% cotton, 7% linen and 3% polyamide, it is specified for loose and fixed upholstery. The 28,500 Martindale rub test supports its use on seating, while the fine woven surface retains a smart, quietly textured appearance.

How to use it

Use Egerton Blue on a tailored armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its cool blue-grey tone can soften warmer timber and coppery accents. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged brass and muted terracotta to draw out the small warm motifs.

A cool blue-grey ground with warm copper accents, well suited to tailored upholstery with understated pattern.

Pairs well with

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