About this fabric

Part of the Nalina collection by iliv, this fabric is composed of 67% polyester and 33% polypropylene, with a usable width of 142cm and a Martindale rating of 20,000 for general domestic upholstery. The design repeats every 2cm horizontally and vertically, creating a tight, evenly spaced pattern that feels tailored rather than bold. In this colourway, the navy motif sits against a softer neutral base, so the contrast is clear but not stark, and the overall effect is cool and composed. It is treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, making it a practical choice for coordinated schemes where you want the same fabric to work across seating and window treatments.

How to use it

Use CALI Navy 2 on an upholstered armchair, bench, or dining seat where its small-scale navy pattern can add definition without overpowering the room. It also works well as drapery in a crisp scheme with pale paint, brushed metal, or light oak to keep the navy reading fresh.

A crisp navy geometric that brings structure to both tailored upholstery and neatly hung drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside CALI Navy 2 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.
