About this fabric

The swatch reads as a saturated Indian blue softened by charcoal-grey undertones, creating a calm, ink-like appearance rather than a bright blue. Its smooth, even face has a fine, subtle texture that becomes more apparent across the surface while remaining visually quiet. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its principal character is the restrained colour and understated finish.

How to use it

Use this cool, ink-leaning blue on a tailored chair, sofa or simple curtain to bring depth without visual pattern. Pair it with pale neutrals, warm timber and brushed metal so the muted tone remains the room’s anchor.

A cool, deep blue plain cloth suited to tailored upholstery or understated curtains.

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.
