Misc Fabric

Galaxy Blue shows a dark, cool blue ground lifted by tiny flecks of lighter yarn across the weave. The close, nubby texture gives the colour a slightly atmospheric, space-like depth.

About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this fabric has a practical synthetic handle and a visibly textured weave that adds movement to the surface. Galaxy Blue reads as a deep navy-leaning blue with scattered lighter thread highlights, so it feels denser and moodier than a brighter denim tone. The finish looks matte rather than shiny, which keeps the colour grounded and gives the fabric a tailored, contemporary feel. Its woven structure suggests a robust cloth that works well where a little surface interest is wanted without a bold pattern.

How to use it

Use this blue on a compact armchair, ottoman, or scatter cushions to bring a cool, refined note into pale or timber-led schemes. It pairs especially well with warm neutrals, brushed metal finishes, and other muted blues.

A cool, understated blue with a lively woven surface that suits tailored seating and accents.

Pairs well with

Galaxy 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.
