About this fabric

The colour sits between denim blue and dusty slate, with a calm, slightly softened depth rather than a bright or highly saturated finish. Fine intersecting threads create a delicate woven grain, while subtle vertical shifts give the surface its quiet wave-like movement. The texture catches the light unevenly, producing pale blue highlights alongside deeper blue threads. This restrained surface pattern keeps the fabric visually composed while adding detail at close range.

How to use it

Use this cool blue colourway to add a calm, tailored note to seating, cushions or curtains. It pairs naturally with pale neutrals and other softened blue tones, allowing the woven striation to provide understated texture.

A cool, quietly textured blue weave that brings gentle depth to upholstery or window treatments.

Wave Indian 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.
