Interlock Ocean Mist pairs a pale blue-grey ground with a repeating geometric arrangement of faceted vertical forms and short horizontal blocks. Fine linear striations across the weave give this light colourway a quiet, softly tactile finish.

About this fabric

The pattern is tonal rather than high contrast, with misty grey-blue shapes set against a slightly lighter ground. Repeated vertical forms and interlocking rectangular elements create a measured rhythm across the surface, while small angled joins add definition without making the design feel busy. The fine woven lines are visible through the pale colour, giving the cloth a subtle textural depth as the light moves across it. No performance features are noted in the supplied details for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool, pale blue-grey colourway to soften a contemporary armchair, headboard or pair of curtains. Its restrained geometry works especially well with chalky whites, pale timber and other quiet mineral tones.

A cool, low-contrast geometric weave for quietly polished upholstery or window treatments.

Pairs well with

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