Elmcote Weave River Blue/Apricot

Elmcote Weave River Blue/Apricot combines a cool, muted blue botanical ground with small touches of warm apricot across a softly pale background. The closely arranged foliage and flower forms give the swatch a richly patterned, tapestry-like character.

About this fabric

This 610gsm fabric is catalogued for Outdoor use, making its substantial woven construction well suited to upholstered seating and other hard-working applications. The design layers slate- and river-blue leaves, rounded blue-grey flower heads and fine apricot stems over a light ivory ground, creating depth without becoming strongly saturated. It has a 136cm usable width and a repeat of 43cm vertically by 34cm horizontally. With 122 threads per cm, the weave has a dense, considered presence that supports the intricate botanical detail.

How to use it

Use River Blue/Apricot on a bench, dining chair or occasional armchair where its cool blue foliage can anchor a room, while the restrained apricot accents echo warm timber, terracotta or russet accessories.

Use this dense blue-and-apricot botanical weave to bring structured colour and outdoor practicality to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Elmcote Weave River Blue/Apricot 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.
