About this fabric

This Lelievre fabric reads as an ocean-blue woven surface, with darker and lighter blue fibres creating a lightly brushed, irregular grain. Its quiet vertical texture catches the light gently, preventing the shade from appearing flat while keeping the overall effect restrained. The catalogue identifies it as Fabric, with no performance features or further specification data supplied. As a dense-looking textile in the image, it is best considered for upholstery applications, subject to project-specific suitability checks.

How to use it

Use Ocean on a tailored armchair, ottoman or seat cushion where its cool blue depth can anchor a room. Pair it with ivory, soft grey, pale oak or cognac leather to balance the shade’s slightly moody character.

Use this deep ocean blue with pale timber, chalky neutrals or warm leather to bring definition without introducing a strong pattern.

Athena - Ocean 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.
