Portland Riviera Flat

SS22 Images - Enchanted Garden, Geometrica, Water Meadow & Portland Fabric

Portland Riviera Flat in Citron reads as a calm striped cotton with a fresh, washed-out blue character against a pale ground. The vertical bands and fine dotted edges give the design a crisp, tailored feel without looking severe.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric has a usable width of 137cm and a 35cm horizontal pattern repeat, with no vertical repeat noted. The cloth is finished for heavy domestic use at 30,000 Martindale, so it can handle upholstery as well as drapery and accessories, and it is treatable for FR use on both curtains and seating. Visually, the colourway pairs soft denim and indigo blues with an ivory ground, giving the stripe a slightly washed, coastal feel rather than a sharp navy contrast. The slim blue herringbone-style side stripes and the darker central bands, edged with tiny black dashes, create enough definition to read clearly while still feeling light and relaxed.

How to use it

This colourway works well in rooms that need pattern without weight, especially on loose covers, dining chairs or Roman blinds. The pale ground keeps it breezy, while the denim-blue stripes bring enough structure for coastal, country or informal classic interiors.

Use for smart coastal upholstery or airy curtains where the narrow indigo bands can add quiet rhythm.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Portland Riviera Flat 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.
