G P & J Baker X Kit Kemp Stripes II FabricBF11132.612

Cubby Ocean is a muted blue textile with a calm, oceanic depth and a subtly irregular vertical surface visible across the swatch. Its softly tactile weave gives the plain colour gentle movement without introducing a strong motif.

About this fabric

Woven from 65% cotton and 35% jute, Cubby Ocean has a lightly slubbed surface with fine vertical variation that catches the light in softer and deeper blue tones. The 134 cm width makes it practical for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 25,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered furniture, while the cool ocean-blue shade keeps the overall effect relaxed rather than formal. Care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use Cubby Ocean on a relaxed armchair, headboard or loose cover where its cool blue tone can be balanced with warm timber, natural fibres and pale neutrals. As curtains or a bedspread, its restrained vertical texture adds depth without competing with patterned furnishings.

A softly textured ocean-blue weave with enough durability for upholstery and a calm, understated drapery finish.

Pairs well with

Cubby Ocean 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.
