Danube Check Indigo

Danube Fabric

Danube Check Indigo combines deep indigo squares with blue-grey, cream and muted lilac-grey checks. The visible linen weave gives the pattern a softly irregular, tactile surface rather than a stark graphic finish.

About this fabric

Made from 100% linen and supplied at approximately 137cm wide, Danube Check Indigo is specified for curtains. Its medium-scale checks shift between inky indigo, cool blue-grey and warm cream, with a faint muted lilac cast in the lighter lines. The close-up shows a fine, lightly slubbed weave that lets the colour appear gently softened across the cloth. After care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use this cool indigo colourway for full-length curtains in a relaxed sitting room or bedroom, pairing it with chalky whites, weathered timber and blue-grey upholstery. The cream checks help keep the darker blue from feeling too heavy at the window.

A cool, softly textured linen check for relaxed curtains, with indigo depth balanced by blue-grey and cream lines.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Danube Check Indigo 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.
