M662 Ocean

Name: M662 Ocean
Brand: Mark Alexander

M662 Ocean pairs a cool slate blue-grey ground with an airy scattering of pale botanical blooms. Its lightly textured surface gives the colourway a softened, quietly weathered character rather than a flat blue finish.

About this fabric

The slate blue-grey background has a muted, mineral quality, while the ivory flowers and branching stems create clear but gentle contrast across the cloth. Large layered blossoms sit alongside smaller sprigs and buds, giving the repeat a varied, natural rhythm instead of a rigid geometric arrangement. A fine crosshatched texture is visible through the ground and subtly across the printed areas, adding depth to the cool colour. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use M662 Ocean to bring a cool, settled blue-grey note to a sitting room, pairing it with chalky ivory, weathered timber and soft grey upholstery. Its pale floral tracery would work equally well on relaxed curtains or a traditionally shaped occasional chair.

The cool slate ground and pale floral drawing bring a softly traditional botanical note to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside M662 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.
