About this fabric

This colourway is defined by its deep midnight-blue ground and subtle horizontal striation, rather than a strong decorative motif. The close-textured surface has gently uneven tonal movement, giving the dark shade dimension without making it appear bright or saturated. It reads as composed and tailored in the swatch, with the lighter blue fibres becoming more visible where the surface catches the light. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Nuit on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool ink-navy tone can provide a strong, quiet anchor. Pair it with chalky neutrals, pale grey-blue or warm timber to soften the depth without losing its tailored character.

Use its cool ink-navy depth to anchor tailored seating and bring contrast to lighter, warmer textiles.

Pairs well with

Helios - 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.
