Kanto Blue brings a cool, watery softness to the Kyotogardens collection, with pale blue leaves drifting across a light ground. The bamboo-style stems give the design a calm vertical rhythm that feels fresh rather than busy.

About this fabric

Printed on a fabric of 82% viscose and 18% cotton, this colourway has a light 117gsm handle that suits curtains, blinds and soft furnishings. The palette is built from misty blue, silvery grey and touches of blush against an off-white ground, so the motif reads airy and understated. Large bamboo stems and slender leaves create a gentle, elongated repeat, with the watercolor edges keeping the design softly blurred. The 133cm usable width and 66.5cm by 59cm pattern repeat make it practical for made-to-measure window treatments.

How to use it

Use this blue colourway in rooms that want a restful, cool note: it sits neatly with white-painted joinery, pale oak and grey upholstery. The soft contrast of the leaf motif works especially well where you want pattern without losing light.

Pair with pale timber and chalky neutrals to let the airy blue leaf detail stand out.

Pairs well with

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