About this fabric

The fabric shows neat vertical rows of small white botanical motifs against a softly textured denim-blue ground, with the pale shapes standing out clearly from the cooler shade beneath. Its 385 gsm weight and 37 threads per cm indicate a dense, substantial construction suited to upholstery. The usable width is 127 cm, while the compact pattern repeat measures 3.4 cm vertically and 2 cm horizontally. The restrained contrast and tightly repeated leaf design create a smart, ordered surface rather than a loose or oversized botanical statement.

How to use it

Use this cool blue colourway on a chair, bench or headboard where its white leaf rows can provide a clean patterned accent. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey-blue shades to reinforce its fresh, light-catching character.

Use the cool denim ground and crisp white leaf rows to bring a fresh, graphic rhythm to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Silene Denim/First Light/Sky 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.
