About this fabric

The design is formed from evenly spaced diagonal stripes, with deep lapis bands alternating against a warm-looking ivory ground. Its clean-faced appearance keeps the strong blue-and-ivory contrast crisp rather than soft or hazy. At 352 gsm and 102 threads per cm, the fabric has a substantial specification suited to a range of interior applications. The usable width is 137.5 cm, while both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats measure 17.5 cm.

How to use it

Use this cool, saturated lapis stripe where a room needs clear visual direction: on a statement chair, Roman blind or full-length curtains. Balance the graphic blue with warm ivory, pale timber or natural straw tones.

Use the deep lapis-and-ivory stripe to add graphic rhythm to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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.
