About this fabric

This colourway sits in a near-black navy, with just enough blue showing through to keep it from reading flat or charcoal. The plain design and smooth-looking face give it a restrained, versatile character that suits contemporary interiors. It is woven in 100% polyester and specified for general domestic use, with a 25,000 Martindale rating for everyday durability. After care includes machine washing at 30℃ or professional dry clean in situ, and it is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request.

How to use it

Use this dark navy on a neat sofa, dining chair or bench where the colour can anchor lighter woods, brass and pale neutrals. It also works well for cushions or headboards when you want depth without introducing a patterned note.

A deep navy plain that brings a smart, understated finish to tailored seating and cushions.

Pairs well with

Cayman Dark Navy 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.
