Sahara Iii Kingfisher

Sahara III Kingfisher is a cool, blue-leaning teal with a quiet woven texture that gives the surface gentle variation rather than a flat block of colour. Its restrained finish lets the depth of the shade take centre stage.

About this fabric

Viewed close up, the cloth has a fine, subtly crosshatched weave with softly mottled tonal movement across the kingfisher-blue ground. The colour sits between deep teal and weathered blue, reading calm and collected rather than bright or tropical. Its even surface and apparent mid-weight make it a versatile choice for both upholstery and drapery. The understated texture will add depth to larger upholstered forms without introducing a pronounced pattern.

How to use it

Pair this cool kingfisher teal with pale oak, warm ivory and brushed metal for balance, or use it against charcoal and ink blue for a deeper, more tailored scheme. It would bring controlled colour to a reading chair, headboard, Roman blind or full-length curtain.

Use this softly textured blue-teal cloth to bring cool colour and understated depth to seating, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Kingfisher 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.
