About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, saturated blue-teal rather than a bright or green-led shade. Its smooth-looking face has very low-contrast tonal movement, with no visible printed motif or pronounced pattern. The dark tone gives the swatch a composed, tailored character and lets the surface texture provide the visual interest. The supplied record lists no composition, width or rub-test information, and no performance features are noted, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this cool, inky blue-teal on a statement chair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with pale neutrals to bring out its depth or warmer timber tones for contrast.

A cool, inky blue-teal plain that brings depth and a tailored feel to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Smooth Cadet 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.
