Blend Abyss

Name: Blend Abyss
Brand: Kirkby Design

Blend Abyss is a very pale, cool blue with a soft, almost misted appearance. Fine vertical tonal movement runs through the surface, giving this quiet colourway a gentle sense of depth without a defined motif.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as an icy blue-grey in the swatch, with a light-catching surface that shifts subtly between cooler and slightly paler vertical bands. Its fine striations create a softly linear texture rather than a bold pattern, keeping the overall impression calm and understated. The apparently light, fluid handle makes this colourway particularly well suited to drapery, where its vertical movement can be appreciated at full length. With no performance features or further specification data supplied, its suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended window treatment.

How to use it

Use Blend Abyss at a bright window to bring a cool, airy blue note to the room, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and gentle grey accents. Its restrained vertical texture also works well with tonal layering rather than high-contrast pattern.

A cool, softly striated blue suited to calm curtains, blinds and layered window treatments.

Pairs well with

Blend Abyss 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.
