Aloe Fabric

Aloe Ocean is a cool blue-grey textile with a calm, gently softened appearance. Its close plain weave creates a lightly textured surface, while subtle tonal variation prevents the colour from feeling flat.

About this fabric

The colour sits between blue and grey, with a muted oceanic tone that reads cool and quietly atmospheric across the swatch. Fine woven lines are visible in the surface, giving the plain cloth a restrained texture and a softly varied depth rather than a completely uniform finish. The compact-looking weave makes this a versatile mid-weight choice for upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted for this colourway, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Use Aloe Ocean to bring a cool, settled blue-grey note to a room, particularly on seating, cushions or full-length curtains. Pair it with pale woods, chalky neutrals and deeper blue accents to reinforce its quietly coastal tone.

Pairs well with

Aloe Ocean 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.
