Blizzard Azure

Blizzard Azure is a cool, muted azure blue with a soft grey cast, shown here in a close, finely woven cloth. Its gently uneven surface gives the plain colour subtle depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

Woven from 45% viscose, 35% cotton, 16% linen and 4% polyester, Blizzard Azure has a fine, lightly mottled texture visible across the swatch. The blue-grey tone reads calm and restrained, with a slightly silvery cast where the light catches the weave. At 137 cm (53.82") wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 40,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered furniture; care requires professional dry cleaning, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use Blizzard Azure to bring a cool, softened blue note to a tailored sofa, occasional chair or headboard, pairing it with chalky whites, pale woods and gentle grey accents. Its quiet woven variation also makes it effective as full-length curtains or a coordinated bedspread.

A cool, quietly textured blue-grey for tailored upholstery, relaxed curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Blizzard Azure 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.
