Pure Marine

Pure Marine is a deep marine-blue textile with an almost ink-dark appearance. Its plain surface is enlivened by a very fine, low-contrast weave that becomes clearer in the light.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool, saturated blue softened by its depth, sitting close to navy rather than a bright marine tone. A fine woven texture runs consistently across the swatch, with tiny tonal variations preventing the surface from looking flat. The restrained pattern and dark shade give Pure Marine a composed, tailored character suited to upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Use Pure Marine on a statement chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its dark blue tone can anchor a room. Balance the cool depth with chalky neutrals, warm oak or softly reflective metal.

Use this deep marine blue as a quiet, tailored foundation with pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal.

Pairs well with

Pure Marine 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.
