M671 Ocean

Name: M671 Ocean
Brand: Mark Alexander

M671 Ocean presents a cool, muted ocean-blue ground with a finely drawn geometric lattice. Its blue-grey depth gives the swatch a calm, tailored appearance rather than a bright marine feel.

About this fabric

The surface is covered with tiny linked diamond and chevron forms, creating an even all-over rhythm at close scale. A close, lightly textured weave combines pale blue-grey and deeper blue threads, so the pattern has quiet depth without strong contrast. The shade sits between ocean blue and slate grey, with a softened quality that changes subtly as the light catches the woven surface.

How to use it

Use M671 Ocean to introduce cool blue-grey structure to a room through a tailored chair, bench, cushions or full-length curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, soft greys and pale timber to preserve its restrained, coastal tone.

The cool blue-grey ground and fine lattice bring quiet structure to contemporary upholstery, cushions or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside M671 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.
