About this fabric

The design is formed from irregular vertical dashes and slender streaks, with denim and deeper blue marks standing out against an oyster ground. Small flashes of zest green bring brightness through the otherwise cool, weathered colourway, while the close weave gives the surface a substantial visual depth. At 680gsm and 137cm usable width, this is a weighty textile suited to upholstery. Its pattern repeats every 35.3cm vertically and 34cm horizontally, and the standard length is 30m.

How to use it

Use the denim and oyster balance on a tailored sofa or occasional chair, then pick up the zest accents in a cushion, painted detail or small accessory. Pale timber, chalky neutrals and deep blue upholstery partners will keep the colourway feeling fresh rather than stark.

A substantial woven with cool denim and oyster tones enlivened by sharp zest-green accents.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Nuru Denim/Zest/Oyster 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.
