About this fabric

The close-up shows a compact geometric weave made from linked rectangular forms, rather than a flat or printed motif. Cool blue-grey and ivory yarns create a lightly mottled surface, with the raised structure catching the light unevenly across the cloth. The restrained contrast keeps the pattern subtle while giving the fabric clear visual texture. As no further composition, width or performance specifications were supplied, this description is based on the visible woven construction and colour only.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-grey colourway with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm, tailored scheme. Its small-scale woven geometry would bring understated texture to an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa.

Use this cool blue-grey woven texture on tailored seating, where its fine geometric structure adds quiet detail without overwhelming the room.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside M567 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.
