Grand Canyon Soft Blue

Grand Canyon Soft Blue has a cool, misted blue-grey ground with fine taupe and charcoal threads creating a restrained vertical chevron texture. Its low-contrast surface gives the swatch a softly dimensional appearance without a bold directional motif.

About this fabric

Woven from 42% viscose, 33% linen, 21% cotton and 4% polyester, this 140 cm (55") fabric combines a softly dry, finely textured handle with the subtle movement visible across the blue-grey surface. The small chevron effect forms a 6 cm (2.36") horizontal pattern repeat, while alternating pale blue and warmer neutral threads keep the colourway muted rather than saturated. With a 30,000 Martindale rub test, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. After care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use the cool soft-blue and grey tones to bring quiet definition to a tailored armchair, headboard or relaxed curtain. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and warm taupe accents to bring out the weave’s understated contrast.

A cool, softly textured blue-grey weave suited to tailored upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Grand Canyon Soft Blue 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.
