About this fabric

The colour sits between powder blue and cool grey, with a gently muted quality rather than a bright or saturated blue. A close crosshatched weave adds delicate tonal variation and a subtle textile grain when viewed up close. The surface appears smooth but not flat, as the fine threads catch the light softly across the swatch. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this cool China blue with chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey for an airy scheme, or use it against warm oak and natural neutrals to balance its cooler cast. Its quiet texture works equally well on a relaxed armchair, cushion or softly gathered curtain.

Use this cool, pale blue-grey weave to bring a calm, lightly textured finish to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Linara China Blue 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.
