Cothay blue

Misc Fabriccothay/fa1/pac

Cothay Blue is a light, airy print scattered with soft squares in washed blue, lilac, aqua and warm gold. The overall effect is fresh and painterly, with the blue ground reading cool and quietly hazy rather than bold.

About this fabric

Woven in a 95% cotton, 5% linen blend, this fabric has a gently matte handle that suits both decorative making and lighter upholstery projects. The design shows a field of small, translucent block shapes, with the Cothay Blue colourway favouring pale powder blues, misty aqua and soft lavender touches over a white ground. At 230gsm with a usable width of 140cm, it has enough substance for curtains, blinds and soft furnishings while still feeling easy and relaxed. The pattern repeat is 46.6cm horizontal and 30.5cm vertical, giving the scattered motif a pleasingly regular rhythm across the cloth. Dry clean only; iron safe.

How to use it

This soft blue colourway works well in calm bedrooms, coastal living rooms or a nursery where a washed, uplifting palette is needed. Pair it with chalky whites, bleached oak and brushed brass to keep the look light and polished.

Use this airy pastel print to lift a room without overpowering it.

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