About this fabric

The fabric is woven with a closely set diagonal twill that gives the blue-grey ground a lightly textured, tactile finish. Its cool slate-like tone is muted rather than bright, while the small woven angles catch the light with gentle variation. This is catalogued as a Fabric, with no performance features or further specification data supplied. The restrained surface and versatile mid-weight appearance make it suitable to consider for both tailored upholstery and understated drapery.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway to bring a quiet, tailored note to a room, pairing it with pale woods, chalky neutrals or deeper navy accents. Its fine twill texture would work neatly on a clean-lined chair, bench or relaxed curtain.

The cool blue-grey tone and fine twill texture suit tailored upholstery as well as understated curtains.

Islay Twill Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
