About this fabric

The pale grey-blue ground is lightly softened by fine darker and lighter threads, giving the surface a delicate, almost misted depth. A close, even weave is visible across the swatch, with restrained vertical texture that catches the light without becoming glossy. It is made from 42% linen, 28% viscose, 24% cotton and 6% polyester, and measures 132 cm (51.86") wide. With a 40,000 Martindale rub test, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on a tailored sofa or headboard where its fine vertical texture can add quiet definition. It also makes a calm curtain or bedspread colour alongside chalky whites, pale timber and soft stone tones.

A quietly tailored blue-grey neutral for upholstery, curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Magma Delft 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.
