About this fabric

The shade sits between blue and green, reading cool, muted and richly grounded rather than bright or jewel-like. A close, even grain is visible across the swatch, creating a smooth appearance with restrained tonal variation. The lack of a visible motif keeps the design clean, while the surface texture prevents the deep teal from feeling flat. This is a composed colourway for interiors that need colour with a calm, understated finish.

How to use it

Pair Smooth Dragonfly with warm timber, pale stone or soft ivory to balance its cool blue-green depth. Its plain, finely textured surface can bring quiet colour to a tailored chair, sofa or full-length curtain.

Use this deep blue-green plain weave to add calm colour and subtle texture to seating, cushions or window treatments.

Pairs well with

Smooth Dragonfly 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.
