Dakota Suede Smoke Blue

This Smoke Blue colourway presents a quiet, cool blue-grey field with a softly suede-like surface. The close-up reveals faint tonal shifts across the plain face, giving the colour more depth than a flat blue.

About this fabric

Dakota Suede Smoke Blue has a plain, suede-like surface in a cool blue-grey tone; the close image shows gentle tonal clouding rather than a printed motif. The matte face reads softly blue through the centre and slightly deeper grey towards the edges, giving the swatch restrained depth. The supplied specification contains no composition, width, rub test or performance features. Its even, non-directional appearance is the main construction detail visible in the supplied image.

How to use it

Use this softened smoke blue on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool grey undertone can sit comfortably with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal. Its muted depth also makes it a calm choice for balancing warmer tan or rust accents.

A cool, quietly tonal blue-grey suede surface for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Smoke Blue 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.
