About this fabric

The dense-looking bouclé surface is visibly nubby and irregular, creating gentle tonal variation rather than a printed motif. In this colourway, the blue reads muted and atmospheric, with darker flecks adding depth across the swatch. The textured construction has the visual weight to suit upholstery, particularly on seating where its surface can be appreciated up close. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so project suitability should be assessed against the intended use.

How to use it

Pair Orkney Blue with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and warm tan leather to balance its cool, smoky depth. It would bring a calm, enveloping character to an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard.

Use this deep, cool blue bouclé to bring understated texture and visual depth to upholstered seating.

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.
