About this fabric

Across the close-set surface, tiny angled ribs join into orderly vertical herringbone columns, so the pattern reads as texture first rather than a bold graphic. Its azure-blue ground is softened by grey, creating a slate-like depth that remains calm and understated as the light moves across the weave. The structured cloth has a neat, even appearance suited to both upholstery and drapery. The supplied record lists no performance features for this catalogued Fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway on a tailored chair, bench or full-length curtain where its fine herringbone can add quiet pattern without overwhelming the room. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a crisp, restrained scheme.

A tailored blue-grey herringbone for upholstery, curtains and refined contemporary schemes.

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