Cricket Shadow Blue

Cricket Shadow Blue has a cool, muted blue-grey ground with a tactile vertical pattern that resembles close-set cables and elongated chevrons. The tonal design gives the surface depth without introducing contrasting colour.

About this fabric

The structured woven surface is formed from repeated vertical braided bands and narrow, angular chevron lines, all held within a restrained blue-grey palette. Fine darker threads outline parts of the motif, while the raised sections catch the light subtly and give the cloth a softly dimensional finish. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so its appeal here is primarily the visible texture, colour and patterned construction.

How to use it

Use this cool shadow-blue colourway to upholster an occasional chair, sofa or headboard where its vertical texture can add depth without making the room feel busy. Pair it with pale stone, chalky grey or warm timber to balance the blue-grey tone.

Its cool blue-grey tone and raised vertical texture suit relaxed upholstery on occasional chairs, sofas and headboards.

Pairs well with

Cricket Shadow 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.
