About this fabric

The swatch combines a denim-blue ground with darker, irregular vertical lines that vary subtly in width and density. A fine ribbed texture is visible across the surface, giving the fabric gentle light-and-dark movement rather than a flat finish. The closely repeated stripe pattern creates a directional look while retaining the relaxed depth of the blue-grey colour. Its visibly substantial woven appearance makes it well suited to upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use Feel Denim on a contemporary armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool blue tone can sit alongside pale timber, chalky neutrals and brushed metal. Run the vertical stripes with the furniture’s lines to emphasise the fabric’s tailored character.

The cool denim-blue ground and narrow irregular stripes bring softly textured definition to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Feel Denim without fighting it. 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.
