Name: Flanders Tempest
Brand: Mark Alexander

Flanders Tempest is a deep, cool blue-green textile with a restrained, almost storm-cloud quality. Its close plain weave gives the surface subtle tonal movement rather than a visible pattern.

About this fabric

The swatch is woven in a dark teal that sits between blue and green, softened by a grey cast that keeps the colour composed rather than bright. A fine, even plain weave is visible across the surface, with tiny shifts in the threads adding quiet depth. The textile is catalogued as Fabric, and its balanced woven appearance makes it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery. In stronger light, the surface reads slightly lighter through the weave while retaining its distinctly moody Tempest tone.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted teal on a compact sofa, dining chair or upholstered headboard, pairing it with warm timber and pale stone to lift its depth. It can also bring a calm, tailored note to full-length curtains where a plain cloth is preferred.

The deep, cool teal brings quiet colour and fine woven texture to upholstery or softly tailored drapery.

Pairs well with

Flanders Tempest is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
