Name: Town Indian Blue

Town Indian Blue is a quiet, cool blue-grey textile with a softly softened appearance rather than a bright or saturated blue. The close plain weave gives the surface a restrained, lightly textured character.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a pale blue-grey with a subtle cool cast, while the fine woven structure creates delicate vertical and horizontal variation across the surface. There is no printed motif or visible pile, so the interest comes from the understated grain and gently changing light on the cloth. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this softened blue-grey at windows where it can bring a cool, airy note without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and warm neutral upholstery to balance its blue cast.

A cool, softened blue-grey plain weave for calm, understated window treatments.

Pairs well with

Town Indian Blue 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.
