About this fabric

The swatch reads as a softened slate blue, sitting between blue and grey rather than appearing bright, navy or strongly saturated. A very fine, even texture subtly varies the surface, creating a quiet woven effect across the plain colour. Its restrained appearance suggests a versatile mid-weight textile suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied information for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this cool slate blue with pale timber, chalky neutrals or soft grey for a composed scheme, or use it to temper warmer rust and ochre accents. Its muted depth works particularly well on a tailored chair, sofa or full-length curtain.

Use this cool, muted slate blue to bring quiet depth to upholstery, curtains or layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Tone Slate Blue 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.
