About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Portland Riviera Wavy has a usable width of 137cm and a 35cm horizontal pattern repeat, making the stripe read clearly across drapery and upholstery projects. The visible ground is a warm ivory-beige, while the stripe colours shift through cool navy, slate and washed denim tones for a layered, slightly weathered look. Its 30,000 Martindale rub test and heavy domestic upholstery grade make it suitable for seating as well as curtains and accessories. Treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, it balances practicality with the relaxed rhythm of the wavy stripe.

How to use it

Use this colourway to add movement to a calm neutral scheme, especially where the cool blue stripe can sharpen pale oak, chalky paintwork or soft grey upholstery. It works well on statement chairs, Roman blinds or full-height curtains when you want pattern without overpowering the room.

A clean denim-blue stripe on a soft natural ground, ideal for tailored interiors with a relaxed edge.

Pairs well with

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