About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Mark Alexander’s Timeless Embroideries collection, this colourway is visually fine and softly textured, making it best suited to drapery. The indigo tone is muted toward charcoal, with the blue showing gently through the grey rather than appearing bright or saturated. Slim dark marks and occasional pale stitched lines interrupt the ground in irregular horizontal intervals, while the close weave gives the surface a quiet, lightly striated character. No composition, width or performance figures have been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Reflection Indigo for full-length curtains where its cool blue-grey depth can soften a room without introducing a strong block of colour. Pair it with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and brushed metal to echo the restrained contrast of its dark and pale linear embroidery.

The cool indigo-grey ground and understated linear embroidery suit relaxed contemporary curtains and layered schemes.

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.
