About this fabric

The fabric shows a close, irregular weave in a restrained French blue, softened by flecks of grey, ivory and muted blue throughout the surface. Its fine crosshatch texture catches the light subtly, creating a quietly tactile appearance without a pronounced motif. The mid-weight-looking cloth is versatile enough to consider for upholstery or drapery, based on its balanced woven handle and understated texture. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool, softened blue on a relaxed armchair, blind or full-length curtain, balancing it with warm white, light grey and natural oak to keep the scheme airy. Its greyed undertone also works well alongside brushed metal and simple contemporary forms.

Pair the cool blue-grey weave with chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey upholstery for a calm, lightly coastal scheme.

Sula French 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.
