About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, this plain fabric has a refined, lightly textured surface rather than a printed motif. Its True Blue colour sits between soft denim and deep slate blue, giving the cloth a calm, cool depth. At approximately 137cm wide, it is supplied for curtains and cushions, where the understated weave can remain the main textural detail. Dry clean only.

How to use it

Use True Blue for relaxed curtains in a room with pale neutrals, warm timber or chalky whites, then echo its cool denim tone in coordinating cushions. Its muted depth also works well against lilac or softly weathered blue accents.

Its cool denim-blue tone brings calm depth to relaxed linen curtains or paired cushions.

Pairs well with

Marietta True Blue 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.
