About this fabric

Smooth Bluebell is shown as a plain, deep blue surface with a cool bluebell tone and faint violet shading. The close image shows very little sheen, while gentle tonal variation gives the otherwise smooth face quiet visual depth. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this colourway, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Pair this dusky blue with pale stone, chalky neutrals or dark timber for a calm, tailored scheme. Its cool violet undertone also works well with muted lavender and soft grey accents.

Use this cool, dusky blue on upholstery or curtains to bring restrained depth and a softly tailored feel.

Pairs well with

Smooth Bluebell 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.
