Fable Weaves FabricLF1927

Fable Weaves Ocean is a densely woven textile in a cool, muted blue-grey, patterned with rows of small taupe organic forms. Its close, tactile surface gives the colourway gentle depth rather than a flat blue finish.

About this fabric

The ocean-toned ground shifts between blue-grey and charcoal, with fine lighter threads adding a softly mottled texture across the surface. Repeating upright motifs in taupe and grey create a compact, irregular rhythm that reads as abstract foliage or coral-like forms. The woven construction looks substantial and tactile in close view, making this colourway well suited to upholstered furniture. This item is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use the cool blue-grey ground to upholster a statement chair, ottoman or headboard where its small-scale pattern can be seen at close range. Balance the muted ocean tone with pale oak, warm taupe and brushed metal accents.

Pair the cool ocean blue-grey ground with warm timber, taupe and natural woven textures.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Fable Weaves Ocean 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.
