About this fabric

The Sapphire colourway reads as a blue-grey slate rather than a bright or saturated blue, creating a composed, tailored impression. A fine, close-grained weave is visible across the swatch, with delicate tonal variation that prevents the surface from appearing flat. The compact texture and upholstery-weight appearance make it well suited to bringing quiet structure to seating and other upholstered pieces. There are no additional performance specifications supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool slate blue on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair alongside warm timber, pale stone and brushed metal. Its restrained colour also works well as a grounding contrast to softer neutrals and muted blue accents.

Its cool slate-blue tone and restrained weave bring quiet definition to contemporary upholstery.

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.
