Chelsea Denim

Chelsea Denim is a quiet, deep denim blue with a cool slate cast. Its close plain weave gives the surface a subtly dry, tactile appearance rather than a smooth or glossy finish.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a muted blue-grey denim, with enough depth to feel atmospheric without becoming near-black. Fine vertical and horizontal threads form an even, lightly flecked surface across the swatch. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended project.

How to use it

Use this cool slate-denim blue on a tailored occasional chair or simple upholstered piece, where its restrained tone can anchor softer neutrals. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and warm tan accents to bring out the subtle contrast in the weave.

A cool, grounded denim blue that brings understated depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Chelsea 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.
