Misc Fabric

1796/BWT5 is a cool blue-grey woven fabric with a fine, closely spaced herringbone running in narrow vertical columns. Its lightly mottled surface gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

The weave combines blue-grey and softer grey threads, creating a restrained, slightly chalky tone that reads cool in the photographed light. A repeated chevron structure forms subtle vertical rhythm, while the small-scale texture keeps the pattern understated and tailored. The supplied record lists no composition, width, rub test or performance features for this fabric. Visually, its woven body and controlled pattern make it a versatile choice for upholstery or drapery where quiet texture is preferred.

How to use it

Use this blue-grey colourway on a compact upholstered chair, bench or relaxed curtain, balancing its cool depth with warm timber, ivory linen and muted stone tones. The vertical herringbone can help introduce discreet structure without making the room feel heavily patterned.

Pair this cool blue-grey weave with pale oak, chalky neutrals and brushed metal for a tailored, quietly textured scheme.

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.
