About this fabric

The Balsam colourway sits between softened teal and deep blue-green, reading cool and restrained rather than bright or jewel-like. Its close mottling gently breaks up the colour, while fine surface variation creates a subdued, nap-like softness as the light moves across it. The dense, plush-looking face visible in the swatch makes this a natural upholstery choice for seating and occasional pieces. It is catalogued as a fabric in Kirkby Design’s Crush Iii collection, with no performance features noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-teal with pale oak, warm ivory or aged brass to soften its depth, or use it on a statement chair where the softly brushed texture can be seen at close range.

Use this deep blue-teal upholstery colourway to bring a cool, softly textured depth to contemporary seating.

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.
