Borage Indigo

Emery Walker`s House Fabric Collection FabricMOF0177-02

Borage Indigo combines a cool blue-grey ground with densely arranged indigo botanical detail. Its finely drawn pattern reads as softly intricate rather than bold, with pale highlights giving the surface gentle depth.

About this fabric

This 188gsm fabric has a 138cm usable width and a compact 15.5cm vertical and horizontal repeat. In the image, tiny floral and scrolling forms create a closely woven-looking field, with muted indigo marks set against blue-grey and ivory-toned accents. The cool colour balance gives the design a quiet, slightly faded character, while the dense repeat keeps the surface visually detailed. With 36.2 threads per centimetre, it offers a refined mid-weight handle suited to both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Borage Indigo to bring cool, layered pattern to a reading chair, bedroom curtains or a softly tailored blind. Pair its blue-grey ground with chalky whites, weathered timber and deeper navy accents to echo the colourway's restrained depth.

The cool blue-grey ground and intricate indigo pattern suit tailored upholstery, blinds and relaxed curtains.

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