About this fabric

Catalogued as Fabric, Orion Blueberry has a dense-looking surface marked by closely spaced horizontal striations. The colour sits between blueberry blue and charcoal grey, reading cool and atmospheric rather than bright or saturated. Subtle changes in the yarn direction catch the light across the swatch, creating a gently weathered finish. With no further performance specifications supplied, this colourway is best considered for upholstery where its restrained texture can remain visible.

How to use it

Use Orion Blueberry on a tailored armchair, sofa or footstool in a cool-toned room, pairing its deep blue-grey shade with pale timber, charcoal and softened white. Its low-key horizontal texture also suits clean contemporary forms where a plain fabric needs added depth.

Pairs well with

Orion Blueberry 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.
