About this fabric

The small interlocking motifs create a compact surface, with saturated blue carrying most of the visual depth and rusty orange-brown accents catching across the repeat. Its visibly dense woven appearance gives this colourway a substantial upholstery character rather than the light, fluid look associated with fine drapery cloth. No performance features are noted in the supplied record, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Use the cool depth of the lapis ground to anchor an upholstered chair, bench or headboard, then echo the rust detail with warm timber, leather or terracotta accessories. Its small-scale geometry can add pattern without overwhelming a larger room scheme.

The dense, compact weave suits upholstered seating and adds a graphic blue-and-rust accent.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Town - Lapis without fighting it. 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.
