M663 Indian Blue

Name: M663 Indian Blue
Brand: Mark Alexander

M663 Indian Blue pairs a quiet blue-grey ground with delicate tracery of pale botanical stems and small, feathery blooms. The cool shade reads softly rather than brightly, giving the pattern a weathered, understated presence.

About this fabric

Across the swatch, slender branching lines wander between scattered floral heads, creating a loose botanical rhythm rather than a dense repeat. The pale motifs sit gently against the cool Indian blue ground, with enough contrast to remain visible without becoming stark. A fine, even surface texture gives the cloth a subtly natural appearance and softens the clarity of the printed outlines. No performance features, composition, width or rub-test information are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway for relaxed curtains in a pale, tonal room, where the ivory botanical tracery can be echoed in chalky upholstery, painted timber or natural flooring. Its muted depth also suits a calm bedroom or quietly layered sitting room.

A quiet blue-grey botanical for soft curtains and other light-filtering window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside M663 Indian Blue 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.
