About this fabric

The Nuit colourway reads as an inky navy rather than a bright or saturated blue, with darker and lighter threads creating understated depth across the surface. Subtle vertical striations are visible throughout, giving this plain textile a quiet woven character without a repeated motif. Its apparent mid-weight texture makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool ink navy to bring depth to a tailored chair, sofa or Roman blind, especially alongside pale neutrals, charcoal and warm timber. Its restrained vertical texture can add interest without competing with patterned furnishings.

A deep navy textile with subtle vertical texture, equally suited to tailored upholstery and understated drapery.

Pairs well with

Athena - Nuit 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.
