About this fabric

The face is a compact, fine diagonal twill in deep cornflower blue, with closely spaced ridges creating a subtle directional texture. As the light moves across the surface, the weave produces gentle tonal shifts that keep this cool shade softly dimensional. The colour reads as muted and composed rather than bright or saturated, making its blue depth particularly noticeable against lighter furnishings. No performance features are noted in the supplied information for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep, cool cornflower blue on a tailored chair, ottoman or headboard where its fine ridged weave can add quiet texture. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, pale timber and warm neutrals, which bring out the blue’s softened depth.

A compact diagonal twill with a tailored surface, best suited to considered upholstery applications.

Pairs well with

Twill Cornflower 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.
