Odyssey Kadlife Blue

Name: Odyssey Kadlife Blue
Brand: Linwood

Odyssey Kadlife Blue combines a cool, weathered blue ground with softly blurred ornamental forms in taupe, brown and subdued ochre. Its distressed, tapestry-like surface gives the colourway depth rather than a flat, saturated finish.

About this fabric

The design repeats architectural and geometric motifs in a dense, vertically arranged pattern, with darker blue outlines emerging through the lighter ground. Warm ochre and brown accents temper the cool blue, giving the colourway an aged, atmospheric character. The visibly textured surface catches the light unevenly, reinforcing its layered, softly worn appearance. The supplied record provides no composition, width or rub-test figure, so these technical details are not specified here.

How to use it

Use this muted blue colourway to upholster a reading chair, ottoman or occasional seat where its medium-scale ornament can be appreciated. Pair it with warm taupe, tobacco brown, aged brass and pale natural timber to draw out the warmer notes in the pattern.

Use this richly weathered blue on an armchair or statement cushion, balanced with warm taupe and natural wood.

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