About this fabric

The fabric has a close, fine weave with delicate vertical variation visible across its surface rather than a pronounced motif. Its balsam colouring is desaturated and cool, sitting between soft teal, blue-grey and green-grey in the light. The restrained texture keeps the colour nuanced without making the design visually busy. No performance features or further technical specifications are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Ice Balsam to bring a cool, softened teal note to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, or carry it through as a relaxed blind or curtain fabric. It works especially well alongside chalky whites, pale timber and other blue-green neutrals.

Use this cool, muted teal as a calm plain for upholstered seating, cushions or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Ice Balsam 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.
