Code Denim is a deep denim-blue textile with a cool, charcoal cast. Its close, granular weave creates a subtle diagonal movement across the swatch rather than a pronounced printed pattern.

About this fabric

The dark blue ground is softened by lighter grey-blue threads, giving the surface a gently mottled, almost peppered appearance. Fine diagonal marks run closely across the weave, adding depth while keeping the overall effect restrained and small-scale. The supplied record catalogues this as a Fabric from Kirkby Design’s 4d Upholstery collection, with no performance features noted. Its compact-looking texture reads as particularly well suited to upholstery where a quiet, tailored surface is wanted.

How to use it

Pair this cool denim-blue colourway with charcoal, weathered oak and soft grey for a calm, contemporary scheme. It can also sharpen warmer neutrals by introducing a controlled blue-grey contrast on chairs, stools or a sofa.

Use this cool, charcoal-leaning denim blue to bring tailored depth to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Code Denim 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.
