Wave Dragonfly

Wave Fabric

Wave Dragonfly has a cool blue-grey ground with a subtle teal cast, giving the swatch a quiet, atmospheric appearance. Fine vertical striations and gentle tonal variation add texture without introducing a bold repeat.

About this fabric

The fabric’s surface appears closely woven, with slender vertical lines and softly irregular shading that create a lightly mottled effect across the blue-grey colourway. Its cool tone sits between muted blue and softened teal, while the low-contrast texture keeps the overall look restrained rather than graphic. The even, mid-weight appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Wave Dragonfly with pale grey, chalky white or weathered timber to reinforce its cool, coastal-blue character. Its understated striation would work well on a tailored armchair, bench cushion or relaxed curtain.

Use the cool blue-grey tone to bring a calm, lightly textured finish to seating, cushions or softly tailored window treatments.

Wave Dragonfly 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.
