About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, shadowed navy rather than a bright or saturated blue, giving it a composed, architectural mood. The close view shows a plain surface with very subtle tonal variation and no visible motif, allowing the depth of colour to lead. Its dense-looking appearance makes it well suited to upholstery-led schemes, particularly where a dark, tailored finish is wanted. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Smooth Nightshadow on a statement chair, sofa or upholstered headboard, pairing its midnight-blue depth with pale stone, chalky grey or warm timber to prevent the room feeling flat. Brass or softly aged metal can pick up the faint light caught across its surface.

A deep, shadowed blue with a quiet surface that brings tailored depth to upholstery.

Pairs well with

Smooth Nightshadow 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.
