About this fabric

The fabric has a plain face with a fine, cloudy texture rather than a visible motif or repeating pattern. Its blue-teal shade is softened and low in saturation, giving the surface a calm depth instead of a bright marine appearance. Subtle tonal variation across the swatch keeps the colour from looking flat while preserving its clean, simple character. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Smooth Ocean to bring a cool blue-teal note to a restrained living room, bedroom or reading space. Its quiet mottling can sit comfortably on upholstered seating or hang as understated drapery alongside pale neutrals, soft greys and natural timber.

A cool, softly textured blue-teal plain suitable for upholstery or drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

Smooth Ocean 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.
