Lyrical Japanese Ink/Lagoon

Colour 2 Fabrics FabricHAF0455-04

Lyrical Japanese Ink/Lagoon presents a deep, almost black-blue ground scattered with fine lagoon and pale blue marks. The dense, short strokes create a richly textured appearance, with the lighter flecks sharpening the pattern against the dark base.

About this fabric

This substantial fabric weighs 628gsm and has a 140.7cm usable width, making it particularly well suited to upholstery. Its surface is filled with irregular, short dash-like marks that read as a densely worked Japanese ink study rather than a conventional floral or geometric repeat. The cool ink navy ground gives the colourway a deep, quietly dramatic character, while lagoon accents catch the light as fine blue-green highlights. The pattern repeats every 34.6cm vertically and 35cm horizontally, offering a consistent rhythm across upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use this cool ink-and-lagoon colourway on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its dense mark-making can act as the room’s graphic focal point. Pair it with washed timber, charcoal, soft grey or muted blue-green accents to draw out the lagoon flecks without losing the depth of the navy ground.

The deep ink ground and lagoon-coloured marks bring graphic depth to tailored upholstery, especially on contemporary seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lyrical Japanese Ink/Lagoon 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.
