About this fabric

The ocean shade sits between blue and grey, reading crisp and restrained rather than bright or warm. A minute hopsack structure creates a consistent field of alternating pale and darker threads, giving the surface its grain-like texture. The dense, regular appearance makes this textile particularly suitable for upholstery applications. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa where its fine woven texture can add quiet definition. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and charcoal accents to draw out the Ocean colourway’s restrained contrast.

A cool ocean blue-grey hopsack weave that brings fine texture and quiet depth to upholstery.

Pairs well with

Veranda Hopsack Ocean 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.
