Niva Cornflower

Niva Fabric

Niva Cornflower is a softly coloured woven fabric with a small, repeating trellis pattern visible across its pale cornflower-blue ground. Fine diagonal yarns create a lightly mottled surface, bringing gentle texture to the cool blue-lilac colourway.

About this fabric

The pattern reads as a restrained geometric lattice, with pale blue, grey and lilac threads blending rather than forming a high-contrast repeat. Its woven construction gives the surface a softly textured, subtly directional appearance. Supplied at approximately 140cm wide, Niva Cornflower is specified for fixed upholstery in contract and general domestic settings. The composition is 50% viscose, 25% linen, 15% cotton and 10% polyester, with dry-clean after-care.

How to use it

Use this cool cornflower colourway on a tailored sofa, dining chair or headboard where its fine trellis adds pattern without overwhelming a room. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted lilac or grey-blue accents to echo the blended tones in the weave.

A cool, quietly patterned woven upholstery with a soft blue-lilac cast and subtle surface depth.

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